Jon, our long conversations were always comforting and special. We would ultimately end up talking about God, western PA, TN and our love of old cars. You touched many lives and I'm truly blessed for having such a great friendship. Your faith, love for Bonnie, family and abilities were above reproach. Your smile and steadfast ways will be missed. This past week my family members came together in Clearwater for a celebration of my mothers life and you have been a part of this gathering.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Godspeed Jon

Your friend,

Jim Swoager
