I was sorry to hear of Jon's passing. We were team mates on the Cambridge H.S. football team & were good friends due to that association. We lost contact after high school as we each pursued our separate careers, but as with many of my classmates, I thought of him often and hoped that he was doing well. My sympathy goes out to his wife and family.

So sorry that Jon has left us. While only knowing him for a few years I found him to be wonderful and caring with a great sense of humor. His love of music and many great stories will be missed. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
