Our sympathies are with you all, immediate family, close family and friends. Jon touched the life of everyone he knew. My kids and I knew him from Riverfest and I especially enjoyed talking to him around the fire at night. I'm sure he is in the great beyond thinking up some sort of excitement with Matt. Please know that our thoughts are with you at this confusing and difficult time. Our love to you all.
