I wish I were as eloquent as my brother Mac, but I will try. Once you befriended Jon, you had a loyal friend for life. This is tough.==============================
We give thanks for you Jon --for your unwavering loyalty to those values you held, for your bright eloquence in this strange company of WHAB, for your kindness and boldness with which you filled those days allotted you by your creator.
With his love of so ,many things that seem to belong to an earlier day --black and white movies, Mass said in Latin, the novels of Carson McCullars and Flannery O'Connor, white athletic socks and above all civilized decorum at J-H Stadium -- many would say that Jon was born too late, that he belonged to the day of Scott Fitzgerald and Betty Davis. But Jon came along at just the right time to remind us of those good things and to teach us to enjoy them. We will miss our friend and appreciate that he loved Auburn enough to despise every change made by the BOT and AD.
"I think it is safe to say that while the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted." "All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful." — Flannery O'Connor
