Sorry for your loss. I haven't seen your dad for sometime but he was always witty, loved his old cars and was fun to be around. Hang in there Jim and family.

I never had the pleasure or honor of meeting Jon, but I feel like I know him. I know he loved his lovely wife Barb with all of his heart. I know he loved his grandchildren with every fiber of his being. They brought each other so much joy!! You can even see it in the pictures of them spending precious time together. Barb, I know your heart is breaking right now. I pray GOD'S comfort & love to you. You watched over him while he was here..now he's watching over you and those grandbabies from heaven.
