Jon was my older brother and mentor in many fields and endeavors. He taught me many aspects of kindness and morality. He is deeply missed by both Carol and me. Love always

Jon was my older brother and taught me so much. We were very different in terms of our likes and passions, but the strong connection between us was always there.
Many people in this world may indicate that they would " ..go to the ends of the earth for you if you need it". Jon was among the very few that I knew this was true.
Jon, hope to see you again in heaven. Bob

My family and I wish to express our sorrow at Jon Paul's passing. Heard just recently about him from Jeanette Boudreau. My mother Bea Snow was a friend of the family and I feel as I know them - We knew and loved Rene' Jon Paul's father. I know he thought the world of his 'boys' and know the world is a better place for having them. My deepest sympathies to Ellen and the family. Lorraine Pellerin

The world is a better place for having had Jon in it, just as I truly believe that those who knew and shared thoughts with Jon are better people for having known him.



Peter and Nick, I wish I had gotten a chance to be introduced to you by your father, as he spoke of you kindly and often.



My thoughts are with his family and friends through this difficult time.

A poet, visionary, and a warrior.

Seeing what the world needed, he fought to make it better, helping all.

All who knew Jonnie have been blessed by his presence.

Farewell to a great man.

Jon was my first roommate. He had a very analytical mind - always wanting to take things apart to see how they were made.

I will miss Jon very much.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We were not what most people consider close. I will miss the occasional conversations we had. You always had something interesting to say and never showed me anything but kindness and generosity. I appreciated that a great deal as a teenager entering a new and complex family dynamic, probably more now than ever. Rest In Peace.
