You could also find him cheering on Millersville Baseball, Villanova Basketball and Penn State Football! 
    He also volunteered as a coach for many youth sports teams in both Penn Manor and Lampeter-Strasburg. Jon served as secretary on the Lampeter-Strasburg Baseball Booster Club Board. When his children were younger, he spent many years teaching Sunday School at Lampeter UMC and Covenant UMC where he also captained a Relay for Life team. Jon attended Pequea Church.
