I am very sorry to hear about Jon's passing. I didn't know he was sick so it was a shock when Gracia told me. I went to SF State with Jon back in 1990. Actually he was the first person I met at State when i was touring the school deciding to enroll or not. He was doing some crazy photos of a lot of household items and hot dogs and other domestic stuff arranged in bizarre ways. I took a liking to him immediately. Several years later, he showed me some Cornel-esque boxes he was working on -- some really intricate and fascinating work. I remember Jon as a very intelligent and nice person, really serious but always good for a laugh, somewhat on the cynical side. I had sent him an email in October to come to our Halloween party, but didn't get a response. Sorry I won't see him again. My condolences to the Kaplan family. -- Luther Thie

What a sad loss of a wonderful human being. I've posted a lovely photo of Jon taken at our wedding in July of 2000. He and John Riley are looking at a camera together. Somehow, Jon never seemed that far from a camera and his art. He will be sorely missed.
With love,

How fortunate we are to have met someone as kind a Jonathan. I had lunch with him and fellow student from San Francisco State University less than a year ago--sitting on the dock of the Bay, literally looking past the Bay Bridge with the sun beaming upon us. Thank you for your goodness, Jonathan. Best regards to the Kaplan family.

Jonathan was always witty, smart, gracious and sweet. He generously shared his New York Times with me and we often rode the bus together home from the museum. He is truly missed.
