Jon’s dearest and closest friend both in Colorado and Texas since 1977, Betti C, shared these memories of Jon.
“In business Jon was very inventive and creative. His hobbies were skiing, golf and fishing. He was also an avid reader and photographer. He loved movies and built an exact replica model of the Titanic.
Jon loved to be around people and had excellent communication skills. He was always open to new adventures, had a great sense of humor and always had a positive, contagious attitude.
He loved his family and was proud of his Minnesota roots. He developed numerous friends in Texas. Some of his favorite times were traveling to Ft Worth, San Antonio, the Hill Country, being with animals (especially horses and dogs) and being involved in Texas history and politics.
Jon was a very loyal, thoughtful friend. He truly cared about people, was never judgmental and was very accepting and understanding of other’s situations – especially the elderly.
He made a positive impact on many that he met and will be missed. He left this world with a legacy of kindness and gentleness.”
Jon enjoyed coming home to Minneapolis for Christmas to be with family. Summer’s highlights were his trips to Minnesota to go fishing in Northern Minnesota with his brother Bruce and family. Jon loved to fish.
When Jon retired, in McKinney, TX, he spent time at his church and at the Senior Center playing bridge. Jon had recently started teaching bridge to seniors. On 9/12/2014 he received a Certificate of Recognition from the McKinney Senior Center.
Jon was found dead in his apartment on October 8th 2014. Jon will be missed by his family, good friend Betti C, his many friends at the Senior Center and his friends at the apartment complex.
