I've just looked at a photo from August 1971 taken at my mother's house on Noble Avenue. Several of us have bare feet and one of them (person unknown) is sticking her foot toward Jonni. He has a huge grin on his face. That's the way I'll remember Jonni. My sincere condolences to you, Trisha, and your children. - Posted by: Brian Bursten (Friend) on: Mar 14, 2005

Although I have not seen Jonni for many years, we shared many great times in our early years. Jonni's unfortunate passing has brought great sadness but at the same time brought back memories of our good times with Trish, Al, Gary, Brian, Kris and of Jonni. I will always have a spot in my heart for Jonni. - Posted by: gail kuchma (Friend) on: Mar 14, 2005

I will always remeber Jonni with a smile for that is the only way I ever witnessed Trish speak of her beloved husband. - Posted by: Michelle M (Acquaintance) on: Mar 10, 2005

Grace, at times, comes in human form. Remember God's own best gift was in human form. Jonni has walked among us, and we have relearned that human life can express love and loyalty, justice and hope, that humanity can possess passion and compassion, friendship and challenge, and now, death and reconstruction. We are thankful of John Kelsch. We remember him with gratitude, with admiration, and with joy. Here, O Lord, is one of your special treasures whom we now return for your safe keeping. Good bye my beloved friend ...... until next time. - Posted by: Alex Naumoff (Friend) on: Mar 10, 2005
