Jon was a man of many skills. He was the go-to guy for advice and guidance for his younger brothers. With his background in mathematics, he could solve almost any problem. He could fix anything.  Jon had many passions and he excelled at all of them, including woodworking and making furniture, playing cards with family and his special group of friends, deer hunting, musky fishing on North Twin where he caught several fish over 45” and shooting trap, for which he won many awards.

He also liked to cook, especially at family holiday gatherings and up north. He will always be remembered for his baked beans from scratch and homemade french-fries.
