Jonathan was a close co-worker and friend of mine and will be greatly missed. His was a great guy to be around that was always bragging and looking forward to being outdoors with his son. My deepest sympathy is felt for the Book Family.

November 17, 2010

My heartfelt sympathy is with the brothers and family. I usually had to ask which one I was talking to; Ian, Logan and Lauren were the only kids growing up in the neighborhood. Leesa and Ms. Iris, my heart hurts for you.
Old Neighbor,
