Holly, My sincere sympathy is extended to you and your family on the death of Jon. I am sorry for your loss. I read of Jon's passing in The Cheshire Herald to which I've subscribed since I moved from Cheshire in the mid 1960's. My thoughts are with you.....Ruthann Hissick Richardson

I worked with Jon for a time on the Meriden Fire Department in the 70s. He came to us with credentials as a firefighter from Kansas City. He drove a fast truck and was always in the literal heat of the battle. I saw him once (necessarily!) take down a ceiling of an average sized room with a plaster hook, in just a few seconds. In quieter moments and off duty, Jon was friendly and non-assuming; what he might have boasted about he didn't even mention. He had a good laugh, too. My condolences to his family and closest friends.
