I still miss my father very much. I still think of him often and have very many fond memories if him. I will continue to miss him until the end of my life on this planet. It is a comfort to know he made Earth a better place.

Jon was my longest living friend in Michigan. We enjoyed sailing and racing on the great lakes and outside the US andJon we skied together for many years. Jon was a true friend and I will greatly miss him.

Dear Evelyn and family, I am so very sorry to hear of Jon's passing. Though you and I go back many years through LWV, Bob and Jon knew each other at Dow Corning. I can share your sadness and loss of Jon, because I also had this awful loss in March when Bob passed away. You and your family will be in my thoughts in the coming days.
Many Blessings, Glenna Snider
