Jon enjoyed riding his jet ski, fishing, and cooking out at his family's summer camp in Maine. He loved to ride his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and participated for many years in the Laconia, New Hampshire Bike Week with friends.
His presence, sense of humor, and memorable fashion choices were a staple at many family holidays and events. Jon had a kind heart, a ready joke, and a laugh that was infectious. He was always ready to lend a hand to others in need and generous to all he knew. He was well loved by his family and many friends and will be dearly missed.
