Not sure what to say?

I still can't believe that Jon is gone from this Earth. He was the love of my life. Not the same for him but we remained fond of each other always. Anyone with information about his last days please contact me.

Sweet Jon ~ Oh, how I loved thee. Your joyous laughter rings in my ears and delights my soul. You made me feel appreciated for exactly who I was and who I grew to become. (Poodle skin coat gets an "A" ~ meet "Sleeve" & "Pocket" who arrived before you.) May we meet again ~

Jon was my favorite professor at UCD. He was a great teacher and storyteller. What I enjoyed most about him was his creativity and his practicality. The Communications classes he taught had real-world applications. He would be happy to know that some of what he taught me was passed on and used by a friend in South Africa at the time it was undergoing dramatic changes with the fall of apartheid. Thank you Jon and happy trails!

Jon was a wonderful man and neighbor on Downing St. He will be missed for his wit, humor, and kindness. Ruth Pidick

Jon was a great colleague and friend. He will be missed but we will always have great memories of the good times with him.

I am sorry to hear of Jon's passing. I met Jon in 1975 when I began working at UCD in the old Tower Building. I remember his smile, his boundless energy and good humor, and, in those days - his cowboy boots! My condolences to his family and friends.

My thoughts are with Jon's family and friends. As Jon would say, he was a delight to know! I wll miss him.
