Our Bobby has also left us.He would have been 55 this July 16th. Way too young. My heart aches for so many of you gone from us. The bright side of all this is the great memories we have and there sure are a lot! We hang on to them to keep going. We miss your laugh! It was in fectious. Please watch over us all down here. Sure do wish there...

Hey there FJ. It has been 10 years since you left us and we miss you just as much today as we did when we first heard that day July 11, 2010, that you passed. But I need to ask a favor? Please if you haven't seen Bobby yet, find him and take him under your wing. He is one of your boys from Bosco. Please tell him Bob and I miss him so much but now he is with you. He left us without having the chance to say goodbye and way too young. Now I have the two of you to miss and my heart aches. A...

Hey FJ, can not believe it is 9 years? We are caught off guard still when a song we hear brings tears to our eyes, so many times, we can't keep track, because it will remind us of you! Something happens and know it would mean either you call us or we would call you. You were taken from us, because God needed you more? Selfish of us but we needed you too? You were always just that phone call away. Always in our heart and have so many memories when we were blessed to have you here. Please...

My dearest Jon. Well here I go again another year down without you. I think of you often, morning, noon and night. I just can not get my mind to comprehend that you are not on earth with us. I try to tell myself that you will be coming home soon to try to easy the pain. I always tell people the we never get over the loss of someone we just learn to live with it. This I can do sometimes but not always. Writing this my heart is filled with gladness that you have...

Another year and we remember your birthday, but you are not here. You are celebrating your "heavenly birthday " with all family and friends who are there with you. Not a day goes by we don't MISS you. Wish there was a special phone where we could just leave a message. We raise our glass here on earth and say Happy Birthday FJ. Always in our heart and never out of our mind. AMF for now......Marti and Bob

Always a smile on his face. Could not say no to anyone. We were on our way to see Joey in Alexandria, la when he received a phone call from a parish family who needed a priest for a family member. He was so sad that he could not be there for the family. He did, though, call a fellow priest and asked them to go to the hospital for him. Never saying no.

As a student at Salesian Prep in Cedar Lake Indiana I remember Father Jon very often. He will always be loved and missed. Father Jon had a beautiful voice ( both speaking and singing). His teachings live on in all of us that he touched so gently. Rest in peace Father Jon.

Hey FJ, can not believe another year has past without you. Gone from us all but never forgotten. You remain in our hearts and when we least expect it for whatever reason, we will get a flashback of something we did or you said. We love and miss you is putting it mildly. Until next time? AMF
