My Deepest Condolences to the family, Jon was a friend and co-worker and he shared the same BIRTHDAY with me. Jon was Navy and I a Marine, I always thanked him for the boat rides. He was a good friend and will be missed by all who knew him.
May the Lord comfort and console you all during this time of grieving.

Jon, my dear friend. I will miss our deep conversations about the "ups and downs " of life. I loved how your dad and mine were friends, you and I were friends, and then our daughters. Three generations of the "Storey/Marler saga. I will miss your quirky sense of humor and rooting for the Cubs with me and Fred. Thank you for all of your love and prayers. Until we meet again, dear friend, fly high and rest easy.
