About 20 minutes ago. They took him off life support and he was gone within a few minutes.
I will always remember him giving my son lessons on painting letters and panels.
His family told me that we were his friends are are the only ones that are concerned to ask about him.
Alas my Friend. Will there be any help for the widow son.

It was my pleasure to welcome Jon & Sue to our shop a while back and to spend some time with them. My heart goes out to Sue & Jon's family at this difficult time.

Always a great example and someone I've looked up to from afar. There will be a little more Sepia in our sunsets from now on. Our prayers are with Sue and the family.

I never had the pleasure of meeting the man in person, but I did chat with him often late at night after the boyz logged off. He would be waiting for his supper and I couldn't sleep so we would talk. He was very encouranging to me to continue my painting. He would send me pics of what he was working on too. I think he truly saw us in Letterville as his family and I'm sure we all feel like we have lost a family member tonight. I pray for comfort for Sue and Nic, know that Jon is in the loving arms of his Creator now.

Joe Pribish . . . very nice thoughts. I'll echo that sentiment.
Regrettably, I'd never met Jon - and only enjoyed his enthusiasm for his craft here in Letterville. Condolences to all the family outside Letterville . . . and those here who knew him.
