Condolences

I knew Jonathan through my association with the Chevra Kadisha. Jonathan was an exceptional spirit who worked tirelessly to improve the lot of humanity and his Jewish Community. Our world is a better place having been blessed with Jonathan's presence and all that he did to make us better people. May the memory of Jonathan's life and spirit live in the hearts of his family for all time. We will miss him, dearly.

I was sorry to learn of his passing. I always enjoyed talking to him almost everyday at the JCC. He was a very knowledgable and a kind person. May his memory always be a blessing to all who knew him. Dan Askin
