I worked with Jon for many years and always appreciated his wittiness and desire to get the job done correctly. He was a "go to" guy for his employer and his family. Jon always cared! Rest in Peace, Jon.

Another Guardian Angel has entered heaven. The memory that stands out about Jon is Halloween when he came to my house as the "unknown comic" and tried to convince me he was young enough to trick or treat. I was laughing so hard, I dumped the rest of the bowl in the pillow case.
