Not sure what to say?

Jon, Thank you for being one of our go to people when things had to get done. I and all of us could always count on you. So appreciated. You will be missed. Tony McQuary

I really enjoyed working with Jon in the 80's. He was a true inspiration never building walls between departments but instead expecting everyone and himself to do their best. During that time, there was a true feeling of a team atmosphere, which I believe was Jon's strength. On a few occasions we even enjoyed a couple beers together, which was always a laugh. Jon was dynamic, focused, funny, and a true friend. Jon, you will be missed but never forgotten.

When our daughter was young, we would always sell her school fundraisers to all the neighbors. Jon made great sport of it, always egging on his friend Bob next door to spend more. They would send our daughter back and forth between their houses so each could top the other in spending. There was always lots of laughter in their competition. Jon's friendly smile & easy conversation will be missed in the neighborhood. We are so glad he got to live out his final days in the home on the lake...

The celebration at the end is worth the life to have lived and the love to have shared throughout.

Your daughter Robin is a friend of mine. She is a beautiful, bright, loving and caring woman. You, Sir, had something to do with that which means you too must have been a pretty darn wonderful guy yourself. I salute you Sir for the beautiful daughters you had and the wonderful friend I got.

To you Mr. Reiners, God speed and Peace.

I so enjoyed hanging out with Jon at dragon boat functions. Always a great conversation in store, when you sat down with him. He will be missed

Jon and I met in about 1959-60 in Chisholm, MN and became close friends after we both moved to Seattle. Although I eventually settled back in MN, we maintained our friendship until the present. Jon was a man who never forgot a friend and was an honor to know and be a friend of. I deeply regret not being able to see him at least one more time, but my memories of Jon will always bring a smile to my face. I'll miss you, Jon!

Holly & Family sending our love and thoughts in this time.

Gone from our sight but never our hearts. Will miss fun conversation, silly jokes and fried cheese!

Jon was such an outstanding man and person to work with. His dedication and leadership helped to shape the wonderful employees who make Kenworth the World's Best. As a Plant Manager you learn to rely on a group to be your "Go To People" Jon was at the top of the list. Thank You Jon.
