All Condolences -

I am so shocked and saddened by this news even finding out two years later makes me very sad. Jon was a childhood friend he attended birthday parties at my home in Bradford. As kids we shared an interest in movie and monster magazines and I remember spending years and years trying to find a particular issue he had loaned me. I remember being in cub scouts for exactly one week and when the pack leader said unkind things about my friend not having a uniform, my mother encouraged me to quit in solidarity. I did. I was always proud that Jon W. wore the uniform of our country. Eric J.

I remember Jon as a child, He was quiet thoughtful and had quite a sense of humor. I am eternally grateful for his service to our country and after. I will be praying for your family that you left behind. May you rest in peace Cousin.
