Jon was a very special person, kind, inteligent, and keenly aware of the world around him. Every time you were with him you gained something.

We will always miss Jon's keen intellect, wit and friendship. It's been some time now since his untimely passing, but he lives on for us in our memories and our collective spirit. Jon will forever be remembered fondly by those whose lives he touched. We are so much the better for having known him.

I just learned of John's death, having been in Arizona since the beginning of the year and no longer in the GR Bar "Loop of Information." I met John when we were both studying for the bar exam. We found that our sense of humor was very similar and we had many of which law students would refer to as "off the wall" discussions about many things in society and literature, some related to the law, many not. We kept in touch over the years although my area of practice did not include family law...

My condolences to all of Jon's friends and family. It is clear that you all made him very happy in his life. That's a blessing I'm glad he had. I'm very sorry you lost him too soon.

Jon was such a delight to work with at RM. He always made time for any question and was a very kind, thoughtful person. When he was going to retire he said he couldn't wait to read more and spend time with his wife. I feel blessed to have known him. May his family feel the comfort of people's prayers at this time.

Kayne and Valerie,
You have our sincerest condolences on Jon's untimely passing. We are saddened by the loss of a brilliant colleague and friend. I remember many wonderful conversations with Jon on subjects as diverse as legal doctrine to rap music to Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. I think we both agreed that the Mikado was their magnum opus. Jon's humor and humanity will be sorely missed by all of us.

Dear Kayne and Valerie - I am very sad. Jon was my friend and partner in many a misadventure, and I cherish those memories. I miss him very much already, and you have my deepest condolences. Nothing abides and there are not ever the right words. It just stinks. But there are many of us who knew Jon and laughed with Jon, and we remember him and love him. And we recount those stories to console one another. Yours, Howard Meister
