Not sure what to say?

I never could imagine that what a bond originated between me and Jon my Ohio friend as I use to call him.
Common interests and dreams that we both as VMax lovers used to share ignited a friendship between us without having seen each other ever. But yes we talked via Skype as he guided me to install a device in the bikes computer. Jon you were the best ever and people like you are hard to come by. Rest well my brother

I always looked forward to seeing you Jon when I was passing thru the Cleveland. We shared a love of all things fast and pride in our families. His smile was infectious. His bike, well everyone in the hot rod community knew it was tough. I am blessed I met you just by getting lost on Berea and hearing a bike running on the dyno as I past in my rental car one summer night. God Bless his family.

Jon, my Ohio friend, I have so much to thank you for for all the good service and friendship. Eventhough I was just a customer, we became friends. You never forgot that I ever told you my daughter was very sick. I tried to get you on a cruise ship with your family to the Caribbean. Jon, you were amazing and my VMAX will carry your name on the body. Sincerely, Erroll Kort, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles

I met Jon in 2011 when I purchased a chrome 85 Vmax from him. We had spoke on the phone over the years prior - tech talk - but this was the first time we met. I quickly discovered that our brains were wired the same way. Total strangers, we next discovered very similar tattoos - "clouds and all" as Jon said. Ever since, he referred to me as his "brother from another mother". For all who knew him better, I pray for your peace. I will miss being able to turn to Jon for tech support -...

I was very sorry to hear about Jon. As cousins, we lived far apart, and I haven't seen him in years, but have never forgotten the times together when we were young. I always thought he was sooo handsome. Mike Demas kept me up on his amazing accomplishments. Prayers and thoughts go out to you, his family.
Sincerely, Kathy Demas Vegh

Heather,
I cant tell you how sorry I am. Your good people and in my prayers. God Bless your family.

Life has a way of getting in the way when it comes to visiting friends. Dean and I wish we could have spent more time with you, Heather and the children.
But we will always remember your sense of humor! You always knew how to make someone laugh! You will be missed!!
