Not sure what to say?

Jonathan was my counselor when I was in high school and college. I was looking him up hoping to talk to him. I am sad about his passing but I know he's in a better place. He was an amazing person, I hope he's listening. He made things better for me and many many others I'm sure. Gregg

Very sorry for your loss. Jonathan was my clinical supervisor while I was a Social Work intern at the Malden Public Schools back in 1994-95. The sage advice that he offered on both a personal and professional level has stayed with me throughout my career. I will always remember his smile and optimistic approach to life. My thoughts are with your family at this difficult time.

I worked with Jonathan at the Beebe School in Malden. He was always kind, supportive and very caring. He knew how to get someone to smile on a very stressful day at work. I loved working with him. When I came to Beebe, I knew few staff members and he made me feel so welcome. I am sorry to hear of his death and wish my sincerest condolences to his family, which he held so dear.

For dad....

Years ago, when I lived in Boston, Ellen, Jon and I spent nearly every Sunday together. We would discuss where to go for a long time while studying the Sunday Times, and almost always wind up in the North End for a meal.

Dear Ellen and Alexandra,
I just heard about Jonathan's death yesterday. He was a friend and colleague for many years in the Malden Public Schools and before that at Tri-City. He was a true mensch. He was such a calming presence and a caring listener for both students and staff. His deep clinical knowledge and his knowledge of area resources was so valuable to me as we worked together. He was bright and witty and a staunch ally for equity and the access of all students to a quality...

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. We will surely miss Jonathan's warmth and kindness.

Oh, Ellen, We are so, so sorry to learn of Jonathan's passing. We knew him to be an exceptionally patient, caring and loving family man. Our love to you and Alexandra.

Ellen and Alexandra,
My son Adam and I send our heartfelt sympathy to you both. Jonathan was a tremendous help and influence in Adam's life during his formative years. Not only as a professional but also as a friend. Adam holds a special place in his heart for Jonathan and will remember the skills he taught him, the advise he gave and the friendship he offered. May he rest in peace.
