I didn't know Jon very well but I remember meeting Jon for the first time at the school where Tonya and I worked. He was a very nice and funny man! I can remember his smile, the whole time he was visiting he was smiling! Made the rest of my day!!
I'm so very sorry to hear of Jon passing.I worked with him at ADM and was it ever a pleasure. That man kept use laughing all the time. No matter the situation he always had a funny remark. If the old saying is true that god only takes the best well you better believe that he got a good one with Jon.My heart goes out to his wife and children that you will all get through this. knowing that he is probably up there smiling down on you.Prayers to all the family. Father and siblings.
