Body

Jon died Jan. 15, 2016, in Rogers, Ark.

He arrived at Princeton from Towson High School, after spending a number of years at Gilman School, both in the Baltimore area. At Princeton he majored in psychology and was in Ivy Club. Eddie Dunn and Frank Hegner were his senior-year roommates. After graduation, he spent four years at the University of Maryland Medical School with classmates Jay Haws and Shaw Wilgis. He did his residency in obstetrics-gynecology at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

After a three-year tour with the Army in Germany, he joined Kaiser Permanente in Colorado. Later, he opened his own private practice in Denver, where he practiced for 30 years before retiring.

Jon built a mountain cabin, where his family gathered for weekend getaways. He also enjoyed gardening, cross-country skiing, woodworking, and fishing on the Blue River.

Jon is survived by Janet, his wife of 55 years; son Jon and his wife, Debbie; son Robert and his wife, Stefanie; granddaughters Simone and Emmi; and his twin sister, Ann Stein. To all, the class extends its sincere condolences.
