I just learned thru searching for Jon that he had passed away, I met Jon on my first construction site he was the first foreman that I had the pleasure to work with and then worked for him when he went into business for himself, through the years we lost touch then our paths crossed again in 2003-2004 on a job site building cabins. Jon was a great guy and fair man to work for, I wish we could have stayed in touch over the years. I will always remember his taking the time to teach me the trade that I still us to this day.
