Jon was my big brother, he wanted to be remembered as our little beagle who didn't last too long from Uncle Martin. I was so proud you were an honor student at Bay City Handy, setting both the push-up and chin-up records. I thought you were great in Golden Gloves, Art Dore coach, was proud of your service In Viet Nam, 82nd Airborne, all my girlfriends loved you as I'm sure they still do. You were noteworthy among pilots, continuing to serve the nation in this...

Jon was my friend. We had many a long visit and even caught a few fish. He was a dedicated and loving father and husband, and a good friend.

My heart is with all of you, I know he will be missed.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Dear Dave and family. Thinking of you during this time of sorrow. With deepest sympathy. Ron Bouza, Midland, MI
