I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan after graduating college and he taught me so much about design. He was also one of the first people I talked to about moving to DelCo. He will be greatly missed by our group and I will personally miss all his DelCo food recommendations. I will keep his family in my prayers.

Jonathan was the first friend I made when I moved to the US. I always enjoyed shooting the breeze with him to break up the day. He was a joy to work with, to hang out with and will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies.

I was very sorry to hear of Jonathan's passing. I didn't know him well but always enjoyed our conversations and his observations about life's little joys and puzzles while waiting at the printer or before a staff meeting.
