Jon was my attorney back in San Lorenzo, CA about 1973-74 and I was accused of a crime I k ew nothing about. We went to trial and I was acquitted. I´ve always felt thankful for his skill and he knew I was innocent and it showed. Irvi Cutler

Dear Nedra--
I so enjoyed see this picture of Jon--He looks much as I remember him from your visit to us in Spokane MANY years ago. There is a sense of tragic loss that we never met again while Jon was well--he was Dad's only son and now we have lost a brother that I would have enjoyed getting to know.
I hope that you and your family have peace and faith that he is free from the limitations of this life. Annette kindly updated me on some of the events of past years and I wanted to send my thoughts and sympathy to you and your family at Jon's passing.

Dear Family,
Christ's special peace be yours as a sharing in your dear Jon's Eternal peace!
I did not have the pleasure of ever meeting Jon but knew his wonderful sister, Marianne Wall, now desceased, as a fellow faculty member at Holy Names Academy in Seattle, where she was an outstanding English and History teacher for a number of years. Marianne spoke lovingly of her dear brother, and because I know Annette, her daughter, I wanted to offer my sympathy and prayers for all the family. God bless each and all of you.
