Anita and Family. Our prayers are with you. Jon was truly an inspiration to us all. Upbeat, cheerful, interested in all of us and what's going on in our lives, while doing all possible to survive his terrible illness. He fought with all he had and is loved and admired for the person he was. Sheri and Larry

Anita & Family:



Please accept my condolences during this difficult time. I know you and your family will miss Jon very much.



You and I worked together in the steno pool over 40 years ago and I remember when you and Jon were just going together. The last time I saw you was at PG&E when my mother-in-law worked there.



Would love to hear from you sometime. Take care now.



Sincerely,

Dearest Anita, Natasha & Nick:

Your husband/dad was an amazing and determined man! He shared with me once that he wanted to make each day as happy as he could. Your loving actions made this possible. You are all in my prayers.

With love, Carol

I grew up on Potrero Hill and Jon was always one of the "big kids" on the Hill. All of us who grew up on the hill in the 50's and 60's were like family. It's the memories that we are left with and they are all good.
