Our ranks are thinning and there is one less seat at the Table of Life. Jon was a good family man, a friend to many and will be sadly missed. I worked with Jon at the old Belle City Mallable Iron Co. while I was attending school. I lost contact until the Class Reuinons started. RIP Jon.......

just to bring everyone up to speed, According to his son Mike,  Jon was in a fight with a form of cancer.  Yes he will be missed.  Jon and I always had coffee when he came to the park for a visit.  When I retired and moved to Whiting (Stevens Point)  Jon was there for coffee as usual conversation.  There was also bow hunting deer stories.  He always talked about his kids taking Judo with me and how it help develop his kids into what they are today.

Jon and I were good friends in High School. We would have one-on-one basketball games. He had a hell of a left-handed shot. I ran into him at the reunion and we talked a little.

It was nice seeing Jon at our last reunion. He seemed vital and full of life then. Glad he was able to attend.

As read of Jon's passing, I had sudden image of Jon's face in my mind's eye from those days back in high school. I was happy I got to catch up with him at the 50th reunion.  I can't recall what we talked about, it was a relaxed and casual  conversation just like the ones we used to have in the classses we shared.  I don't think we spent any time explaining what we had done with our lives or what our kids had made of themselves or about what hip or knee had been replaced.  I think it was about hunting, not much else. That was Jon's style, you know, not "wrapped too tight".   I remember thinking how easy it was to recognize him despite the years. He hadn't really changed that much.   Except for the hat.  That hat...that just worked for him.
