Guestbook

  1. Jon was my neighbor. I admired his strength against the adversity he faced and how hard he fought to remain independent. The woodcarvings in his home are beautiful.

  2. Sincere condolences to Jon’s Family. Jon was a dear friend who I met about 35 years ago through his cousin Lee Dahle. Jon was a talented artist and a perfectionist when it came to his art. He was an entrepreneur who was always looking to the future, often innovating while taking a risk and had the ability to see opportunities. He was always up for a fun time and loved meeting new people. Jon was determined to stay independent, (always educating people about MS) while the two of us planned how to remodel his condo to make it work given his disability, often to the consternation of the hired contractor. Most of all, he had a kind caring heart which was clearly evident when he took care of his elderly Mother. RIP, Jon, you will be missed.

  5. Sorry for your loss. Jon was a neighbor when they lived 10 st and 13 ave n. We were right behind him on 9 st. Played in grade school. Then he moved out of the neighborhood. But I remember the pigeons he kept in the backyard. He was a little older than me but we still hung out. He always had a smile.
