I spent a big part of my childhood with Jonathan, he was one of my brother's best friends at Sunset Elementary. My favorite memory of childhood with Jonathan were the big neighborhood tackle football games in the front yard in Coral Gables where "Tank Head" would run the ball. He was so slow but tough and would not go down, he would get so red! We also spent whole summers swimming and playing rag tag for so long our feet would bleed! It is very sad that he is gone at such a young age, but I know that my childhood was better by knowing him and Tommy!

Jonathan was a cool little kid and of course like my little brother at times. Tough as nails. I remember he concocted a way to turn off his light at night before going to bed so he wouldn't have to walk in the dark to his bed...he ran a string through a series of "eye" screws with one end tied to the light switch and the other near his bed, so all he had to do was pull the string once he got into bed. He's making me smile right now just thinking about him.

My heart goes out to you, knowing that you miss him. The Simone house was the after school hub. Jonathan had usually more than one outdoor toy going at a time. I'm going to guess it's better than a couple where he's playing right now. Free to play, laugh,sing, dance and fly. We'll all see him later.........
