Today is my son Jonathan's 40th birthday. His mother and I are most proud of the man he has become. He is a great dad, husband, uncle and brother committed to his family. After an undecided period after the Navy, he has become a successful HVAC technician bringing heat and cooling to families in the Grand Rapids area. He is definitely Harry's grandson as a fixer and installer. He once explained to me how a furnace worked in language I could understand. He was a Fireman aboard the USS Ashland and later a Naval Recruiter.He knew all the intricacies of the piping system on this ship. His captain said he was the "go to guy" in damage control. He spent many months at sea and sent photos of places I will never see. He and Kelly are building a life for themselves in Middleville MI on the banks of the Thornapple River and are in the middle of many projects on their new home. Jon is a friendly and level headed guy that I love very much.
We will see him for Everett's 4th birthday this Sunday along with the rest of the crew.
