My sympathy to Jon's Family...so sorry for your loss. Jon was one of my best students way back when at Brennan's Airport, and an excellent pheasant hunting instructor to me. "To fly west, my friend, is a flight we all must take for a final check." I'm sure you Jon, will have passed with flying colors. Your friend, Steve Bachem

To Jon's family: Words can't express how sadden we were with the news of Jon's death. This family has been a big part of our life for many years. We will never forget the Saturday nights spent playing cards. The camping trips, the fishing and hunting trips taken with Terry. Jon had a laugh that would brighten the darkest room. May GOD keep you in loving arms during this difficult time. We love all of you and will keep you in our prayers. Love Terry, Sue, Elizabeth Alsip

Our family is so sorry for your loss. I’ll never forget “Little Kevin Kellett” taking a motor boat ride with “Chicago” and his Dad. We still laugh when we talk about Kevin’s Denisie and Chicago. May your happy times together and love of family and friends  sustain you.

Prayers for comfort and peace, Denise & family. I remember Cameron's friendship with John at AAR, Chicago & their deep deep discussions on energy production dreams! And their hoped for/unfulfilled plans to get us together as both of us coming from Neenah Methodist church- such a small world. I'm saddened by your great loss & trust that you too learn that love never dies. - Ruth Thompson Paul
