He was my brothers best man, best friend, and like a brother to us all. He told me 40+ years ago, “These are the good old days.” He beat cancer in high school. It came back. We had it together a few years ago. He was my shoulder to cry on. Mine went away, his didn’t. Peace out Jon. Love ya brother.

So sorry Darren. Still in your heart, your words speak of love. Music heals.

He was going to be a nuclear physicist. Yes, really. Went away to college, got a part time job as a cook. Fell in love with cooking so he spent his life feeding people. Had his own sandwich shop in Oregon. Never rich. Never famous, but happy. That’s what it’s all about. ❤️

Hard losing close friends, I lost my two closest friends, in my life, in 2014. We all went to school together, one whom I traveled Europe with. She died of a sudden heart attack, the other horrible struggle with multiple myeloma, 6 months apart, same year

Thank you. ❤️ Brother Murray had been in close contact with Jon’s family. They knew it was just a matter of time. Almost a relief to them that he’s not hurting anymore.
