I had the pleasure to work with Jon for five years at Barton Gilanelli & Associates. He was an excellent co-worker and taught me a lot about PR.
We worked on different accounts at BG, so our daily chats were more for stress relief and fun but we both shared ideas and learned a lot from one another. Jon was a great guy and I will miss our frequent conversations that have now carried on long past working together.
I wish his Wife and Children the best and will keep Jon and them in my prayers.

On behalf of the sales department at Media Camping Center of Hatfield, Our deepest condolences to the Tancredi Family during this time of loss. I had the pleasure of working with Jon on many occasions over the past 20+ years to promote the RV lifestyle. A special memory was a snowy week Jon and I spent in Wooster, MA doing an RV promo with Emeril Lagasse, we must have had 20 people in a 40' motorhome. Jon kept everyone on task and made it a fun week. We will certainly miss the passion Jon had for the RV industry and lifestyle.
Thank you for being such an amazing coach!

Tancredi Family, we are thankful for Jon, his dedication to those who know him and for his love of coaching. We met him when Jack & my son played on the same HYF team, before Jon coached. The next year he was my son's coach! I remember Jon telling the parents, with a smile on his face, that he study coaching youth football all summer & he wouldn't let us down. He was wonderful with the boys year after year. My son & I will remember his smile and the fun he had out on the fields & courts. He showed how dedicated he was to his children & just how much he loved them. He will be greatly missed.

It's heartbreaking to hear about Jon's sudden passing. Jon and I became friends during our last couple years at Temple U. Jon was one of the funniest people to be around, and had a positive outlook and energy that was contagious. His kindness to all he encountered was immeasurable. No doubt he went on to be an amazing father, husband and leader in his community. My prayers are with Kat and the children during your painful loss. In loving memory of Jon.

I had the pleasure of working with Jon on the Haverford Music Festival Board. His smile and energy would fill the room when he entered. If I was at the market and he saw me he would take the time to see how I was doing (I'm a diaylsis patient). I will really miss him. May God bless and give strength to his loved ones that he leaves behind.

Dedicated, family-centered, generous, supportive, effervescent – Jon is the epitome of “good people.” His smile and wit could light up any room he entered. My heart is heavy - I am honored to have worked with him since his first days with the RV industry, but moreso, to have called him my friend. His family was the source of his inner and outer happiness and defined his self-worth. My thoughts and prayers are with his family today and my hope is that you find comfort in the happiness of your memories…Jon would have wanted it that way.
March 15, 2013
We are so deeply saddened for the passing of Jon. He was truly the nicest person we have ever met and his love and devotion to his family was amazing. He will be truly missed. Our prayers go out to the entire family. Kat, Jenna, Jack and baby T., we are so very sorry.

I was shocked and saddened to read about Jon's passing. I was fortunate to be able to work with him during his time with the RVIA. He even invited me to a big party at the shore house. I'll never forget what a great family gathering it was. His life was all about family. He was a wonderful man who kept those around him smiling. He had that great gift. He will be missed. My prayers go out to the entire family.

To the entire Tancredi family but especially Jenna and Jack,
You may not remember us, the Kiyak/Schlembach family, we lived next door to you for nearly 7 years and we have very fond memories of those times. You both were very young when we moved to Wisconsin. We are saddened by the untimely passing of your father. He was a wonderful man. We had the good fortune of visiting Havertown last July and had a nice visit with your Dad. All he could do is talk about you Jenna and Jack. Remember he loved the Lord with all of his heart and was never afraid to share that with his friends. He is with God now forever! Keep your faith. We will pray for God to comfort all of you during this most difficult time. Please except our sincere sympathies. Jim, Sandy , Emily and Julia Kiyak Ryan and Chris Schlembach
