Jon was beyond a friend--he was an invaluable part of my life. My happiest memories from high school, college, and young adulthood center around him, and how we were "partners in crime". I will miss his sense of humor, his amazing generosity, his twisted wit, and his friendship. Most of all, I'll miss Jon--and my hopes of growing old...laughing with him. He will live forever in my heart.

I, too, have wonderful memories of Jon. I met him in junior high and remained friends all through high school. Jon was always laughing or making someone laugh. I will cherish those memories forever. I will keep Jon and his family in my prayers.

I'll always remember the great times we had in high school. Jon possessed a great sense of humor and was a very talented individual. He was a good friend and an all- around nice guy. He will be missed.

Jon, it wasn't supposed to be this way. I was supposed to get to see you again. You were supposed to meet my kids. They know all about you. Well, there are some stories I haven't told them yet.
It saddens me to think that the stories are now all I'll have. But, they are very good stories. I will never forget how much fun we always had, the vile names we called each other, you bellowing from the top of the hill or how you saved my life in the Genesee River. You were just always there when I needed you and, silly me, I assumed that that wouldn't change.
Perhaps, it has changed less than I know.
It's a Part of the Plan and now you have all of the answers.

Although I worked with you for only a relatively short time, you exemplified professionalism and dedication to your job. You were a big part of the department at URS and will be surely missed.

I will miss Jon more than I can ever write in words. He was such a huge part of my life, particularly in high school & college, but after that as well. He took me to our senior prom & he was in our wedding party. Jon had the best sense of humor of anyone I ever met and he could always make me laugh. We both loved him so much. I know having Bill in his life made him complete, so he had a happy life. I only wish it could have been longer and I will miss him so much!! Jon--we miss you but will cherish all our memories of you and our good times together, which are plentiful!!
