Jonne Aleeson

I was just thinking of Jonne and his cheesesteaks and looked him up online and found the sad news.
I first met Jonne in Mt. View over 20 years ago when I worked next door to his "sandmich" shop. How I didn't weigh 300 lbs. I'll never know. I hadn't seen Jonne since that store closed and I moved to Oregon until I just had to see his smiling face and satisfy my craving for a cheesesteak (still the best I ever had) early in 2010. So glad I did.

This is sad news to hear. I send the Aleeson family my dearest condolences!! He was an amazing person with the warmest smile! God bless you and thank you for all your love you gave to San Jose!

I meet Calvin years ago and he was a nice man. He would come in to the shop and buy produce from us and would always bring me a goodie from the state he loved so much. God bless him

I had no idea that Calvin passed. He was a good man and I enjoyed talking about sports with him. R.I.P.

I always called him Calvin even though I knew it wasn't his real name, but I think he liked it. Jonne was one of the most luminous people I have ever met. I never knew anyone who worked so hard but would still go out of his way to make everyone's day brighter.

Jonne's passing is a big loss to a world where it's more and more difficult to find a sense of community. I used to tell Jonne that he reminded me of a character on Sesame Street. I know The Alameda will never be quite...

please accept my sincerest condolences. i have nothing but warm memories of jonnee - seeing him at the calvin's or bumping into him at our local blockbuster or even sharing a beer at his next door wine bar. we always took a moment to discuss life, family and of course philly.
i will truly miss him. i apologize for not being able to attend his services i travel extensively but i have taken a moment to offer a prayer in memorium. - Zach
