Not sure what to say?

One peruses the "InMemorium" section of the alumni magazine looking asquint, ready to flinch. I just did that flinch, ran to the computer and pulled up a picture of Jon and his handlebar mustache , dip tucked in the lower lip - just like I remember him - and my wife and I read his auto-obituary together and are just both so sad that the good go so soon and it seems like the bad just carry on making things worse. I don't think that Jon would even remember me, but man did you remember him. ...

I just heard about this. I lived across the hall freshman year of college. He always cracked me up. My condolences to his family.

After moving away from Durango, I returned for a motorcycle trip. As sitting in front of the Durango Coffee Company, he recognized me sitting in my chair, walking his wonderful dog.

He lived his life with passion and zeal, and pulled together enough strength to continue what he loved until his end. He died too early but will never really leave us. With every hike, every ski run or bike ride around the Animal Valley he is there. He lived his life with confidence and grace and left this world the same way. In his self authored obituary he mentioned his love of...

Jon, We will miss you and your smile and sense of humor! I know you and Linda are together again! Love Carrie
