What a huge loss! Jon was a brilliant, honorable and generous lawyer. And he was all that and more as a friend. He will be missed.

Dear Mara, Eli and Cuneo family. I first met Jon at a Veteran´s Day Commemoration at The Lab School. He was the only parent who attended the small ceremony at Foxhall and later he presented a memorial plaque to the school in honor of those who served. As a school nurse and Navy veteran, I clearly remember and will always remember his presence. His patriotism was evident and I know he stood as a role model for Eli. I am so sorry to learn of his death.
