Ten years ago, Jon wrote a beautiful memory for my mother's obituary. Shamefully, I had never read any of the comments, but I happened to do so the other day. I didn´t know that my mother knew him, so I looked him up. I'm very touched by his beautiful words. She was possibly a neighbor of his - Gertrude Brown. I am her daughter, Margery Blacklow

I served Professor Klarfeld as his Graduate Assistant while earning my Masters Degree in Print Journalism, Class of 1985. I am DEEPLY saddened by his "passing." His skill in training future journalists will be sorely MISSED! (I LOVE YOU, JON!) Carol Suby, COM Class of 1985

Professor Klarfeld was one of the best teachers that I ever had. Probably there are many others who had this experience, but I will never forget his introductory journalism courses at BU, when he would pretend to be a fire chief or police chief, hanging up on us if we weren't organized and prepared enough to get the information we needed to file our stories. Can't think of better training for daily journalism. I haven't been a reporter for a long time, but I carry his teachings with me still, and I always will. Thank you so much, Professor Klarfeld, and God bless his family and friends who miss him. I am so grateful to have known this wonderful man.

Chief, you are missed more than you know. I know you're making everyone in heaven laugh the way you made all your students laugh.
You may not be with us anymore, but you and your family are in our hearts, our prayers and our thoughts.
Your legacy will forever live on through the people you touched. Rest In Peace, Chief!
