Dear Juanita and family,
We are saddened by the homegoing of John and we will continue to pray for you and your family in the days, months, and years ahead. From the few conversations I had with Jon I sure enjoyed talking to him and appreciated the way he looked after his mom even when she needed to look after him.
Love in Christ

Dear Gaff family,
Please accept our sympathies on the passing of Jon. He was always a fun-loving kid, never mean-spirited or “too good” to talk to you. On behalf of the CHS class of ‘75, “we shall miss you Jon, & will see you someday in heaven!” God bless your family.
Sincerely,
representing the class of ‘75,
Karla Hazen Hart
