Jon was an intellectually curious person.  He loved researching information for work as well as for his family.  He had a propensity for details and a fantastic memory.

Once his children were born, Jon began researching all kinds of developmental opportunities for each stage of growth.  He always thought ahead and was watching what other children were doing a few years older than his.  Many times Jon asked me different questions about programs we pursued for Kelly and then Kristen.  He usually had thought through the details and had questions about programs we had just luckily stumbled into for our two girls.

Jon could not love his children more.  He was very demonstrative. I have many mental memories of him carrying his children; often one in each of his strong arms.  He was a caring father that always worried about this family.

I believe he is looking down from Heaven watching his three children grow into caring adults.
