Sorry to hear about your DAD we wish the family the best.Danny and I where really glad to get too see him at the family reunion. I know that your DAD and my MOM were really close. Because when he was riding his motorcycle and if he was anywhere close he would stop by to see my MOM. Danny and I wish we could be there but we have several things happening right now and were sorry. We wish the family the best because I know he will be missed as always.

Our thoughts and prayers to Betty, Keith, Sharon and the family who loved this quiet and gentle man. We have many fond memories of JB; some when our church motorcycle group would ride, at church greeting him and Betty in the foyer, their attendance to our Home Care Group and JP eating with us on occasion. He always expressed a love for God, his family and his country. We will very much miss his smile and twinkling eyes!

“Sooie Pig” – learned that from my Uncle Jon when I was 9 years old and knew that Arkansas was that special state of his birth. Uncle Jon was the picture of grace – always easy going, never harsh or rude – the true gentleman. His love for his dear wife, my Aunt Betty, was of no doubt to all that knew them – they were the perfect match and evident through their beautiful children – Sharon and Keith and their families. He could command a motorcycle throughout his senior years – loving the ride. I last saw my Uncle Jon at my Uncle Wayne’s funeral – just a few weeks ago. He was still the same graceful, loving, distinguished man he had always been – just a bit more frail. I’m sure he entered Heaven riding his beloved motorcycle though the Pearly Gates. So glad to have had him in my life – what a blessing!

I will always think of Uncle Jon on his motorcycle and his campers. He was such a Godly, sweet, soft spoken man with a great sense of humor and a smile and obviously a sense of adventure which he shared with his family. Prayers and Condolences to my sweet Aunt Betty, cousins Sharon and Keith and their families. Our Thoughts and prayers are with you. Brian, Jackie and Isabella Bevolo.
