His wife Mildred died in 1981. A
year later, Jon married Frances Agnes
Gutman and took early retirement from
Pan Am at age 59. They wintered in Key
Largo, Florida, and the North Carolina
mountains for the summer months until
Frances’ death in September of 1987.
Experience taught Jon that being
around people was the best medicine
for grief. He joined a local Fred Astaire
ballroom dance studio for lessons where
he met his late wife, Eva Milburn, a
recent widow, and moved into her home
in Horse Shoe Beach, Florida. Jon served
as President of the Memories Ballroom
Dance Club for nine years, with Eva as
secretary, until 2011. They were also
members of the Four Seasons Dance Club and were joyous ballroom dancers
as well as superb organizers and hosts.
