All I can say is that Jon was unquestionably my favorite bartender. There will never be another one like him.

I stopped by the "B" Saturday Night on my way into Newton for a Birthday party. It had been more than a year since my last visit and I was really looking forward to seeing Jon and having a beer with him. Instead, I was greeted by Teddie with the sad, devastating news of Jon's passing.
I lived across the sreet from the "B" for 5 years before moving to Framingham. The "B" quickly became my 2nd home and favorite place to hang out.
Jon was a great dude and I will miss him very much.
The good times I had sitting across the bar from Jon are numerous and etched in my memory forever.
Reading the baseball standings in the paper to him, while he re-arranged the batting helmets in order of the standings is one my favorite memories.
Seeing the smile on his face, when I walked in and presented the Devil Ray's & D-Backs helmets to him to complete the collection is a favorite memory.
Making the "B" my first stop for Honey Hots and beer with my best friends the night of my bachelor party is a favorite memory.
Coming in early to help Jon decide which games would be shown and on which TV's is a favorite memory, (Thanks Jon, for always letting me have the NU games shown in the heart of BC territory).
Driving on the Expressway and hearin Jon from Watertown on the Big Show on WEEI, would always bring a big smile to my face.
I too came in as customer and left as friend.
My heartfelt condolences to the family. No words can adequately express how I feel of Jon's passing.
Please stay strong.

Dear Jauregui Family:
I have just heard of Jon's passing tonight from a friend of mine back home in MA. Though it has been more than ten years since I frequented the Busy-Bee, Jon made the Busy-Bee the place to be every night of the week. God's speed Jon. You will truly be missed.

My brother just told me about Jon's passing, and I'm deeply saddened. Jon was the biggest cheerleader for the "B" rowing team, always ready with a hand, shoulder or a laugh. I will never forget how quickly he flew over that bar to make peace, or to come to his brothers' (or anyone else's) aid if they needed it at the B. My heartfelt condolences to all his brothers and sisters and mother.

Teddy, Monica, Peter, Naki, Maria, Anita and all,
I just this morning learned of Jon's passing and I can't put into words how sorry I am. Jon was a positive, wonderful spirit who always had a smile, a story and something to give to everyone. He called me mop because of my big messy hair and it never failed to bring a smile to my face.
Blessings and love.

Dear Jauregui Family: My wife Linda and I were shocked and terribly saddened to hear about Jon's passing. Please accept our deepest sympathies. He was a wonderful man and a great friend. He was our longest-standing connection to the community in which we now live. While our trips to the Busy Bee became less frequent, each was pleasant and memorable because of Jon. When our 3 year-old daughter Kristen ever hears the name "Jon", she says "Jon Busy Bee" with a big smile. Our memory of Jon will always be of his big smile, his big handshake (a big hug for Linda), and so many happy moments. His passing leaves a real void in our lives. They talk about St. Peter at the gate of Heaven. I truly hope that when I pass from this world, St. Peter lets Jon man the gate that day. There is no person that could make me feel more welcome to a place than Jon. We think of him every hour of every day. We loved him and miss him and look forward to seeing him again.
With our heartfelt sympathy,
Peter and Linda Abair

The sad news of your passing has hit me slow but surely. It seemed sureal at first, but has sunk in and dragged me down. I have not visited the Bee in so long and was terribly sadened to hear of your passing. You were one of the few warm and genuine people who would greet me with a smile and ask how I was doing every time. Thanks to you, I know how to keep warm on a winter's day - with a hot coffee spiced up with Jameson & Baileys! I'm thankful to have had the pleasure of knowing you. Lots of love to you and your family.

Jon,
On one of the most difficult and painful days of our lives, Steve and I sought the comfort of friends at the Busy Bee. You hugged me and said, "There's nothing to say, Cin." Now, Jon, I find myself in your shoes...with nothing to say. No words to accurately describe the loss Steve and I feel. Thanks for being you, Jon, and pour the almighty father a nice blueberry brew on me! Cindy

Jon always called me Fahey when he saw me even though I've been a Russo for over 4 years. I always knew I would get a big hug and kiss everytime I walked through the doors of the Busy B. I have countless wonderful memories of being there and Jon was always a part of them. Spending New Years Eve with my friends and dancing to "Build me up buttercup", playing darts, just feeling like I had a place to feel comfortable and loved. I will never forget you Jon and my prayers go out to your entire family. You will be missed.
Love,
Ann Russo (Fahey)

My thoughts and Prayers are with the Jauregui family. Jon was a great man,a great friend of mine, and great friend to all that were lucky enough to meet him. I will never watch a Sox game again and not think of you Jon. I`m glad I got to watch Them finally win the big one with You. That was just one of the many great memories I have of You. Thanks for always being a friend. You will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jon's family. I moved away many years ago but have taken my memories from the Busy B with me everywhere.
I will always think of Jon and smile and hope his loss can somehow be softened with time and good memories. I hope that knowing so many of us have taken him with us to many parts of the US will let his spirit live on.
My deepest regrets,
Kim

Dear Anita, Maria, Teddy, Inaki, Peter, and Monica,
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. My memories of your family are numerous and among the best. We shared many amazing summers and while we all went our separate ways, we always found a way to reunite. Jon touched many lives and he will be dearly missed by us all. May you find comfort in the love and friendship of others.
With much love,

To the Jauregui Family,
Just know that the world is a better place because Jon was in it!
He was quick to share a smile, and I really enjoyed dropping in to The Bee once in a while to share old times with old friends. He will surely be truly missed.

It all started for me back in "87" using Steve Fahey's ID. I had to have those wings. soon after it turned into (the buff sandwich). Jon would always yell back don't forget the extra blue cheese. I learned the hymlick remover at that bar from lisa latino. from darts to the golf game, even the dating game. I never will forget the time I spent with you jon. The warm smile and the big hand shake will always be eched in my mind. you will be missed.

Dear Jon,
You will truly be missed by many, many friends and family that love you dearly. I found this quote from Emerson that remnds me of how you lived your life.
God Speed to you,
The Parlato Family
QUOTE: Success, Emerson
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was saddened to hear about Jon's passing. I will always remember him high-fiving me as I jogged by the Busy Bee, asking me about my family members and having many fun and happy memories at the Bee.

Jonnie,
Thanks for being the worlds greatest bartender and a friend! You always had a smile every time we came to the Bee. Miss those crazy Thursdays and those first snow storm of the season get togethers. Those days were epic!!! The friends I made at your bar are the greatest friends in the world! You were the heart and soul of the Busy Bee. We will miss you very much! Can you believe the turnout tonite? I can’t… I miss you very much, you and your wonderful family are in our thoughts and prayers. I can't believe you are gone, but you're probably having a discussion about the Hot Stove activities with Ted Williams and Will McDonough as we speak!
Love,
Bob and Darlene Lopes

Jon, you'll be greatly missed.
Many a thursday night I'd walk down to the Bee and before I could get to the bar there'd be a Black&Tan or a lovely pint of Guiness waiting for me.
Your insights into everything were greatly appreciated. Your views on the Boston sports scene were always good to hear and fun to debate.
I consider myself lucky to have known you. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Thanks.

Jon was a warm, sweet, and genuine person.
The Busy Bee was where I met the friends who introduced me to my husband Mike (Bonk). Jon was part of my life every Thursday when the gang would meet at the Bee. At the time I didn't drink the hard stuff so he created a "foofy" concoction called "Amy's drink" so Mike wouldn't be embarrassed to order it for me.
After moving to Boulder we would come back to visit Jon at the Bee and he always remembered the drink. I wish we had made it more of a priority to stop by and say hello.

To all of the Jauregui family, please know that Jon will always be missed. He was an incredible person who had a warm and loving heart. No matter what the topic he was there to talk and to assist you in your quest for the right answer.
When I met Jon, I knew he was a rare and wonderful find as a friend. He was always there with a smile. When I moved out of the area I knew I would miss my nights talking to Jon. I made it a point to come back home to the Bee as often as I could.
Jon you will be missed and in our hearts forever. I feel touched that you were someone I could call a friend.

I haven't been around in a long time, but I knew that if I ever was in Watertown, I could find Jon at the Busy Bee. He would always have kind words and a smile, and we might talk and share a laugh about memories from summers that seem so long ago now.
To the entire Jauregui family, I am so sorry for your loss.

The world has lost a true gentleman. My condolences go out to the entire family. Jonnie was a truly great person, I feel like I grew up with him, and in fact I did..through many nights at the end of the bar.
I was just in there talking with him on Thursday night, he was a welcomed sight at the end of a hard day. It is so hard to know that he is gone.
May happy memories comfort everyone during this rough time.
Cheers to the man who who introduced me to root beer with root beer schnapps, I will toast you eveytime I have one!!

Jon,
In the weeks prior to leaving Boston I purposely avoided saying “goodbye” to you and the Bee, thinking that I would see you soon and knowing that I could not express the thanks for the friendship you gave me for all the years that we had been friends. During those times you were the one constant in my life (I’m sure that we all can say that), picking me up during those down times and being one of the few people that I know I could turn to (and there were oh-so-many of them), helping me put life into perspective, to throw my troubles away and watch the Red Sox win the World Series (or lose against the Devil Rays, it didn’t matter. It was fellowship.)
Your friendship is the core that has united so many of our lives, bringing people together from all different walks of life, but our paths crossed at 451 Main Street because of you. The lasting friendships that we will maintain will be a staunch lasting tribute to the way that you touched our lives and the unyielding love and admiration we have for you and your family; a mesh of love and respect that you taught us. In all the years I’ve known you, I never heard you utter a derogatory word about another person. You are a true gentleman.
Jon, my friend, may God bless you the way that he has blessed each and every one of us. I have no doubt that come spring you’ll be putting together a softball team in heaven. And still yelling at the umpires! (And they know you’re right.)
For my friends that I had met – or been reunited with – at the Bee, Kath, Dave, Frankie, Justin, Melissa, Jason, Lisa, Kristen, Dave, Steve, Cindy, Angie, the multiple dart contestants, and all my other friends there. Thank you all for being you and thank you Jon for making us friends.
For his family, Mrs. Jauregui, Maria, Teddy, Gail, Peter, Karen, and Nagi, we know that our suffering and loss pales in comparison to yours. Please know that not only did we love Jon, we are here to support you and give you the love and friendship during these times as Jon would have done for us. We are here for you. We are here for each other. And we owe that to Jon (and we won’t let him down!).
And lastly, let’s all pray that we can turn these tears in to smiles and laughter as we think about the way Jon touched all of us.
Best Wishes and God Bless to All
May your hurt be eased with love and compassion
May the void in your life be filled with fond memories

We were so saddened to hear of John's passing. Our hope and prayer is that God will be with you in your time of loss and that you may come to experience a peace that surpasses all understanding.
Though it has been many years since we have seen each other, I still have a vivid image of John and his smile in my mind. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,

Jon there will never be enough words to say to tell you what you have meant to all of us. My wife Ann and I where with you at the bar the night before we got married and you treated us with dignity and respect Like you did to all of us. Jon I played darts with you and softball against you. It will not be the same without you on the field . I will always remember you wearing the batting helmet at first base. You always where a competitive player playing buy the rules. I wish I could pitch one more ball to you and watch you hit another homerun off me. Jon I will miss listening to you on sports radio you could off been the host. I hope that every child that grows to a man will be like you. You paved the way and set the example for the future people off the world. It will be hard for my wife and I to walk buy the Busy Bee and not see your familiar face and smile in the window. Jon I wish we have seen more off each other we will never forget you. Thanks for being friends to my wife Ann and I . My wife Ann says Thanks for encouraging her to shoot in the dart mixed doubles tournaments you had she will really miss you and so will I. We will do everything we can to keep your Memory alive.
Love Always

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Jauregui family. May the knowledge of the widespread love for Jon be some consolation during this difficult time.
The first and foremost thing I could count on when walking into the Bee was Jon’s big smile and a sincere welcome from a genuine good guy. From years ago with friends from town through years of introducing fellow workers to our neighborhood bar and seeing them become immediate fans of “Johnnie” to bringing in my son in for his first of Jon’s big mitt handshakes and some Honey Hot wings, Jon was always a constant. Thank you for your friendship.
We will truly miss you Jon.
Love, Dave & Lorraine Hanley

Jon and family -
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I will always remember the times you accomodated a few hungry late comers on Tuesday evenings and my special "by request" beverage of choice. I so enjoyed our talks about so many things but especially how you always made me smile.
I will always be especially grateful for Election night when you opened your doors to so many of my family and friends. Your generous platters of food were accompanied by your gift of friendship.
I will miss you and remember you always.

Jon,
I came in as a customer but when I left it was as your friend and for that I am forever grateful to you. I will never forget you for that reason, and for all the kind and generous things you did for so many people. We shared many good times together and it’s those memories that I will hold onto and it is what is helping me now.
You gave so much of yourself to your family and friends, always with a smile and a laugh. We are all unbelievably fortunate to have been touched by you and I’m thankful for the time we had together. You are loved by many and are going to be missed, my friend.

To Jauregui's the world over; you have lost an important upstanding member of your family, my deepest sympathies for your loss. I know that Jon's name and memory will be kept alive eternally and carried forward to each successive generation through the telling and retelling of this loved and valued Jauregi member's story.
For the rest of us - we too considered Jon as a brother. And so in the same way that his family will keep his name alive, we will maintain the memory and spirit of Jon to the rest of our small world. We will remember him with each other forever. Goodness knows, I've heard tons of stories in the last few days from people who experienced multiple phases of their life at the 'B' and all under the watchful eye of Johnny or sometimes under his watchful wisdom. We are ever grateful for having had this opportunity to know him. It's those who never had this opportunity that I am most sad for.
Jon I am going to try and keep you alive through the gifts you gave me. For example, I will
a). Share those "pieces of wisdom" you gave me and credit them to you! I complained once that I wanted to be free of all responsibility, and you said, eyebrows raised, 'freedom has a lot of responsibility'. Jeez, you could argue any side of ANY situation! I've of course repeated that phrase many times since - never naming the source of my wisdom - But you'll always get the credit now - OK?
b). I will also make it my priority to keep in touch with others that I previously relied on you to keep the relationship with. I realize that you Jon are the only link I have to so many people -another gift you gave. I must respect that gift by maintaining these friendships on my own.
c). And of course, in tribute to The Greatest, always make myself big generous drinks. :)
From the bottom of my heart, these things I promise to do to keep your memory alive and well Johnny. Love and miss you - Gayle (never one for short sentiments).

John,
You always greeted me with a cold beer, warm smile, and hot wings. It was great growing up right down the road and being able to just bounce on down to a true "local watering hole". I can remember many snowy nights walking down to the Bee to get a drink. Over the years all of my friends from Bridgewater State College became huge fans of the Busy Bee, your friendly service and the feeling of being someplace where everybody knows your name.
You were a good guy, someone I call a friend, and one of the most knowledgable sports fans I have ever known.
Bill, Jeremy, Brian Carroll, Lance, Scott, Greg, Dell, Todd, and all of my BSC boys wish you eternal peace and rest.
Signing off from San Diego,

Jon, there are so many things I'm gonna miss about you. One of the non-selfish ones I'll write about here is the love you had for your family. I always admired how you and your family were together. You could be talking about a incredibly distant relative and you would still be able to tell you were proud and had that connection. Peace Brother. Frank.

Jon,
I am so sad that you’re gone. But not to worry, you will NEVER be forgotten because in the time that I have known you, you have given me many fun and happy times to look back on. Because of you and the Busy Bee, I have met so many people and made lots of wonderful friends. I thank you for that. Thank you for being so good to me and my family throughout the years. I am very lucky to have known you.

Johnny, We miss you already. We will miss your smile and your ability to make everyone around you smile. I will especially miss our sports related debates. You were one of a kind my friend.
