Not sure what to say?

Jon had an engaging smile and cared about his friends deeply. Jon was a guy's guy and always had an engaging spirit that uplifted those around him. Always an optimist, he saw the best in everything in his world. We shared a common struggle and Jon fought it head-on. Since we never know when the end is at hand, the time to reconcile is now, and Jon knew this. What a comfort this must be to Lee and Martha. God Bless.

I was thinking about Jon today. I went to look him up on the internet and learned about his untimely passing. Jon and yourself were sop supportive of me when I started out as a lawyer. My life has taken me to a 25 year career on wall Street butt i will always member my friendship with Jon. My cell is 917-816-6772 Martha dont be a stranger.

Martha,

From the very first days that I met Jon at Bovis Kyle, I knew that he was a brilliant lawyer. We shared other things in common such as IT stuff and gadgets and good old ball games. I got to know him very well over those first few years during the first incarnation of M&M and then the second, all the while as we fought for the right number to be paid under the policy. Well, now Jon is done fighting and is resting is peace. May his memory always be one of a blessing. ...

Martha, Dean from the Y. Fsu Dad. I was so so shocked and saddened to learn about Jon. We share some old insurance litigation stories often. He would have been great to work with. I was very close to staff counsel at Aetna and it was always a valued group of colleagues. Well all miss him and want you to know we grieve with you. May God surround you with his grace and strength to help you deal with this huge loss. All my best and prayers. Dean Ainsworth

Thank you Chad and Neal for your words. Good words. Hope to see you this Sunday at 1pm at the Dunwoody Nature Center.

Martha, I am so sorry for your loss and words cannot express the sorrow i am feeling for you and your family. I have known Jon for over 35 years and worked with him on several legal matters. His intellect and quick mind always impressed me along with many others he worked with over the years. We also shared a passion for golf and i will always remember the fun we had playing golf together even though he stood on the wrong side of the ball. Jon will be missed by all who were fortunate to have...

My heartfelt condolences to Martha and Leeland. Jon possessed a quick mind and equally quick smile.
We shared several common traits, for good and for bad, but not the gift of putting. I remember playing golf with Jon, and he never missed a putt inside 10', and with that tiny center shafted toe curled putter. His efforts inspired me to go buy that putter, thinking it had to be the putter. I couldn't shed that thing fast enough.
Jon fought the good fight and will be missed.
