Uncle Jon was the youngest in my mother’s family and I have many wonderful childhood memories and memories as an adult with my good natured uncle Jon. He was fun loving , kind to all with the ability to make friends easily. He was able to relate to me at any age and always loved children My last time on a one on one visit was a visit to the famous hamburger shack in down town Charlotte where we enjoyed conversation and a great slaw and chili burger. He drove and he only ran a couple red. lights on this drive. Always fun and joyful. Loved by all who knew him. There is a joyful reunion with his mom and dad and his brother and three sisters and other friends where he is the center of attention. His Savior is welcoming him home as he prepares for our arrival to see uncle Jon again.
My sincere condolences to my sweet aunt Dot, to Ann and to Sandy and Lisa and to his grand children.
