Prior to Albuquerque Jon lived in Kameoka, Japan; Terrell, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Greenwich Village, New York; Casper, Wyoming, and Fort Meade, Maryland, where he served in the US Army. Always the advocate for the disenfranchised and down-trodden, Jon was an active member of his local food pantry. "We are in the business of feeding people not storing food," he was known to say. The family requests that in lieu of flowers gifts be given to Casa San Miguel food pantry, Albuquerque, or your local food bank. Jon will be interred at the National Cemetery in Santa Fe during a private ceremony.
