I was blessed to occasionally get to meet with Jon at my office. He lit up the room with his delightful personality and kindness towards whoever was in front of him. I just saw him last week and (as I tend to do..) I shared with him about the Lord and he said that he believed and has seen miracles in his life. With sadness here, on this side of eternity, I still rejoice that he is now in a place far better than we are and that I will see him again. He showed me a picture of his wife at his last visit so I could see how beautiful she was:). I am so so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for your family.

Paula, I am shocked and deeply saddened to learn the news about Jon today. Getting together for lunch with him has been one of the high lights of my retirement and I was looking forward to doing it again when he returned from your cruise next month. The world will be less fun without him. Kelley Brennan
