I wished that Jonathan and I had kept in touch after we graduated, but our lives were separated. There was not a year that I didn't think of him and our friend Jimmy Cutler and all the great times we had in our youth. He was always so kind,witty ,and a joy to know. Our prayers are with the family. Fay Stein- Swanson Union, Oregon

Jonathan was one of those rare people who lives life with a sense of perspective. Mark knew Jonathan was a great guy many years ago when he jumped on the chance to sail a Hobie Cat in stormy seas. We'll treasure that memory and miss his friendship. Jane, Mark, Danny and Jacquie Grant
