Jon was the neighbor that would always have a conversation with you while he walked his best pal Rosie. We often talked about our family vacations in Ocean Coty Maryland. He is certainly missed on the street by all his Neighbors.

Jon was the kindest man. He loved his family fiercely. He and my mom (1st cousins) adored each other. It was a sad day when he left us.

So sorry for your loss. As mentioned by others, he was the 'go-to' neighbor on Greenbriar. He had a genuine interest in what other's were doing and thinking, and would always have a nice word to say
