His love, laughter, and smile shined even more bright to the many other numerous nieces and nephews that Jon held very close to his heart, especially Collin, AJ (who called his Uncle “Johnny Boy”), and Vinny, who spent weekends at the house joking around with him. In fact, Uncle Jon was more like a father figure to most of his nieces and nephews.
