Carol - just heard about Jon´s passing and wanted to reach out to tell you how sad that made me. Jim had always looked up to Jon - It was Jon who had hired him and took a chance on a young kid who was just getting into the business. Lots of good memories back at Portland Bottling - the guys at the Sandy hut after work and the Christmas parties at the Rouches. Seems like a lifetime ago.
Didn´t know if you and John had heard about Jim`s passing - he died in March 2022 of Covid pneumonia. We had been married 53 years.
Then recently we were at dinner with some friends who are in the Gresham, Elks, Judy Brown, and her daughter Cyndi - and it was Judy who had mentioned that Jon was not doing well. But in actuality, he had already passed at that time. My son Brad is a member of the Gresham Elks and I was just reading his copy of the gazette that came in the mail when I noticed Jon´s name in memoriam.
Take care, Carol. I will keep Jon in my prayers and memory. Maybe we´ll run into you someday at the Elks. I am living out in Sandy now. Brad and I bought a house together out here last fall.
Remembering Jon.

Carol and Family, we are so sorry to hear of Jon's passing, and our thoughts are with you. We hope your memories will ease your heartache in the days and months ahead. He was a wonderful husband, father and neighbor! We loved sharing a glass or two of wine with him, as well as spending time together at neighborhood gatherings and at your family Christmas potlucks. We couldn't have asked for better neighbors and friends! Jon and our dog Kaija had a special bond that we'll always remember. Sadly, she left us exactly one week prior to Jon. Perhaps their spirits have reconnected - we hope so. Rest easy, Jon. Our lives are richer for having met you!
