Randy Alsmo.... Jon was my neighbor from the time I finished 1st grade. To say he was a "good guy" seems like it is not saying enough, but Jon would have understood that statement was all he ever wanted to be. When I would stop at mom and dad's I would always drive by his house to see if he might be outside. Many many times he would be and we would have a nice visit. I am so sad for the family during this very tough time, but I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Jon you were a great friend and you will be missed, but know I was blessed to have you in my life.

I will remember my Uncle Jon: 1) For grilling terrific Salmon which he caught in Lake Michigan for our family Christmas celebration and rotisserie chicken on the grill. 2) Telling terrific stories about friends, relatives and the shenanigans he would participate in with my Uncle Denny. He will be missed by many. Rest easy and know you are forever in our hearts, never forgotten and watching over your much loved family.....Deb T
