Jon Walter DiMenna was my nephew and I guess namesake. In reality Jon, Linda and I grew up together since I was 12 & 13 when they were born. I remember Jon riding in a blue and white "Taylor Tot", good times in Manahawkin, and the accomplished carpenter who built the beautiful deck for Merle Jeanne and Bill. I was also a "purveyor of fine foods" but Jon surpassed me both in his culinary skills and success. None of us can comprehend or understand the agony Jon went through, but find some comfort knowing his ordeal is over. I thank Bill Albert, the term "step"father is inadequate. I am so thankful he was there for Jon, Merle Jeanne and Linda, as he has been for many years. WELL DONE to Rev. Earl Comfort.
