Jon died July 15, 2016.

A native of Atlanta, Ga., after graduating from Princeton with a degree in French literature, Jon earned a master’s degree from the University of Georgia and taught undergraduate French there.

In our undergraduate years, Jon was active in Theatre Intime and participated in the initial season of the Princeton Summer Theater in 1968. He worked with longtime friend and classmate Geoff Peterson at the Metropolitan Opera Guild while pursuing his acting career.

An accomplished pianist, Jon served in the Peace Corps in Africa and was active in Academy Theatre in Atlanta.

He is survived by his three siblings, Lisa Marie, Jeff, and James. We express our sympathy to them. Jon will be missed.
