Oh Donna I’m so sorry Jon held a special place in my heart ❤️ take care of you Donna…I often have loving thoughts of my best friends (Karen) family….
Thank you. So nice to hear from you. As you know, he was the last of the Naughtons/Gilman. I shall miss them all.
Our hearts are broken — for the long and difficult journey that Jon traveled and for Donna, the love & light of Jon’s life. Although we have been away from each other, he was always in our life, memories and wonderful stories! All our love ..Michael & Paula
Thank you 💘
A good friend growing up in JP and cross country Bicentennial (1976) motorcycle trip partner on our 1976 Harley Sporsters. 10,706 miles in 76 days. RIP my friend.
Thank you Bob
He talked about that trip always! And, of course, in every box of t-shirts mailed home there were always “baubles” for Donna:-)
Please accept our condolences Donna on your husband’s passing. My God continue to give you all strength and love.

Jon was like a big brother to the whole Kodak team… he would make you laugh and always had your back. If a Kodak visitor wanted to see the real Boston.. he would go out of his way and bring them to Doyle’s… for a lobster. RIP my good friend and sincere condolences to Donna and family from the old Kodak family
Thank you all 💘
