I'm sure memories of Jona start off the same for a few peeps out there...meeting Jonathan @ In-n-Out Burger...it was  (store# 14 in Norwalk for me). This is where he was given the name we all call him to this day, "Jona", by a really cool mgr Rob.  So I took him in, under my wing, showing him how to peel potatoes, slice tomatoes, onions and shared pans of lettuce too-- 

 Always full of energy, needing something to do, took him to my house (the bachelor pad). On the way there, I told him he was too young and can't handle it but you know Jona! Our competitions were fierce and went on for days:  (nintendo battles, etc.) Found out that night, Jona played hockey and music too. We started up a hockey team, did pretty well; made it to finals and won t-shirts lol (Brea Hockey Club Champs).  

Now about music, I went over to Jona's pad (his mom & dad's) to listen to him rap (and he could too) he asked me to lay down some guitar tracks for new beats and raps. That's when I met Sarah and Stephanie 'cause we were too loud. He had it going with his keyboards and beats looping it all together with my guitar--it sounded sweet.  

After all the rapping and sick a** beats, he decides he wants to drum for what turned out to be, "The Industries".   I was his taxi as he was mine, a tool supply man (cause he had none), and his personal plumber--there was nothing I wouldn't have done! All good times.  

With a shake of his hand and a "Good looking out, Dave", it's his smiling face that can't be erased.  

I was blessed to have known you, Jona.
