I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Jonah. I worked with Jonah for many years at McKinley Elementary. He had a great passion for teaching. When I first met Jonah, he was a very quiet person but he became more talkative as we worked together as a 5th grade team along with Mr. Dave Allen. I will always remember our conversations about his work at the Ronald McDonald House, his church, and anything having to do with education. May you RIH, Jonah.
