Jon was an incredibly smart, kind, and caring man with a great sense of humor. He was always smiling and making me laugh, even the last time I saw him when he was in so much pain. He was very strong and even though he hurt, I never heard him complain. He served his country in the military and served his community as a doctor, two things I was never brave enough or disciplined enough to pursue. He also kept my grandma happy during their years together while being a loving grandfather. I'm going to miss you Grandpa Doc, and I'll never forget you! you have a place in my heart forever

I can't believe how badly I miss him.. I kissed him, hugged him, and told him I loved him every-time I saw him... I knew this was coming, but it still Hurts more then I ever imagined... I do have the Peace of knowing he is not in pain any more, and he was in so much pain for the last few years.

I have a very distinct memory of playing with Grandpa when I was little. I feel like it was at my parents' first cabin, but I was so young I may be completely wrong. I remember joking and laughing and trying to pick on him, but he always won that game! It ended with a wet finger in my ear for having tried the same with him followed by me running off squealing only to return for a hug. I love you Grandpa! And Grandma, you are such an amazing person. I love you so much too. Things will get better, you have so much more life to live! Grandpa will be missed, but never forgotten.
