I'm shocked to hear about this. Jon and I grew up playing tennis together at the Raquet Club in South Hills. RIP Jonathan...

My thoughts are with the family for their loss during this difficult time. Fathers are so important. I met Johnathan in High School and saw him when he came to the 40th reunion and he always had a smile on his face and friendly greeting. Too soon to say goodbye. Marsha
