Randy and I and another good friend were lucky enough to have dinner and a couple beers with Jon this fall when he came up to Maine to start one of his many deliveries. It was always a treat to meet up with him and hear his stories.

As Dave wrote, Jon lived life on his own terms, and he packed a lot into those years.

Rest in peace, Jon.
