My condolences to Jons' family. I haven't seen Jon in a number of years but I do remember how he was always willing to help me out in auto shop at MMRHS. Later on when I had personal problems I ran into Jon and he spent considerable time helping me find a solution. I will always be grateful to him,

To all of Uncle Jons family,
He was a big part of the Percy family from bringing Shelly and Bobbi skating on the weekends in the "Rambler" to teaching Mike all about imported cars. He holds a big spot in our hearts. But we all know he is up there with "Uncle Buck" talking about the good old days. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
