We remember Jonathan visiting us at our home on Croydon Road, decked out in his chauffeur's uniform, hat on his head. He was heading to the airport to pick up a dignitary and we were so impressed. What a wonderful young man. Faigy, his father, his siblings and the loves of his life, the 3 J's, will miss their special love. The wonderful memories you have of Jonathan Paul will sustain you forever. He was a Courageous Mensch In peace Henry and Sonia Einstoss
