What a burst of energy Jon would bring into a room, always upbeat and full of creative ideas. He often stopped by our winery as we were about to close to say hello, bring us a watermelon or in-season cherries. At times he'd be dressed in full Gonzaga fan garb and relate the latest Gonzaga basketball news. He was also an avid tennis player and very competitive, too! Will miss his energy and enthusiasm. Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Hello, my name is Pat Gilmore and I worked with Jon through my company International Dunnage. I sincerely enjoyed speaking with Jon as we had a lot of things in common especially our love of Gonzaga Basketball. Our business talks would quickly be taken over with conversation related to sports history as I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and we had many connections especially with basketball. I truly enjoyed my calls with Jon and even had purchased his tickets for a Gonzaga game later this year. I will very much miss him and pray for his family and friends
