Isaac "Jack" Jonathan

I had the pleasure of treating Jack as his optometrist. Just today I had the pleasure of re-hanging several of his prints and photos (one of which he gifted my wife and me) after we moved 2000 miles in our recent retirement. He was a gentle and caring soul. I am a better person for knowing Jack even briefle. My belated condolences to his family. Dr. John and Jean Metzger

It was my privilege to have worked for Jack Jonathan at Hallmark Cards in the mid 60s. Not only was he brilliant and well-educated, he had a wonderful work ethic, a tremendous energy about him and a great sense of humor. His early years of education were in the Italian language because whenever he would be working with mathematics he would verbalize in Italian. We would smile and whisper, "chinquapin, chinquapin, chinquapin." Jack spoke five languages. I remember his choosing humerous...

I´m so sorry to hear of this great loss! Jack Jonathan made beautiful photographs of me as a young child with the fountains in Kansas City. It was during a time my parents, members of Our Souls, were getting a divorce. My mother painted one of his photos. It brought meaning, value, and connection during a difficult time and thereafter!

My deepest sympathy to Rena and Carla. I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with and become a friend of Jack at Stowers Innovations and most recently at Bishop Spencer Place. Although I learned something new from him every day, what I will remember most are the twinkle in his eye, his huge laugh, the little French songs he would always sing, his endless generosity and his zest for life. I will miss him greatly.

Steve, Words can never enough comfort in the loss of a loved parents, but as long as we keep their memory in our hearts, they will live forever there. With sympathy and friendship, Myra

My sincerest sympathies to Rena and family. Jack was an amazing person. I am lucky to have known him. I wish comfort to the Jonathan family. Love, Melody Goller

Carla, so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you & your family.
