Jon was my friend, he was a simply precious man. Jon left friends where ever he went. Jon helped so many people with his knowledge of life. I saw him at the Legion or when he would come into the Moose, I served him beer, I would be closing the Moose and I would see him walking by, "Come ome on in." We would sit and talk for hours about life, family, politics ,you name it. He was a great conversationalist. I love you Jon and miss you. You were alone but not lonely because of your Moose and Legion friends
