Now, so many years later, I finally found this record of Jon's passing. If you, Darlene, are still with us... Please remember the "Good" times regarding WKBZ... Jon, yourself, Hal Waddell, Gen. manager, and I hope, me too. So many, many, memories of those days in Muskegon.
Now in Panama, and wishing those days were still more than a wonderful memory.
Sincere regards,
William (Bill) Hill

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Darlene, and your family. Jon has been the core of all of our Grand Haven High School class reunions. His expertise with audio/visual was incredible. We will miss him!

Darlene and Family, So sorry to hear of Jon's passing. My heart and prayers go out to you during this time. Having known Jon for almost 30 years, I will always remember Jon as a great enabler to "getting things done" at Atcoflex and, more importantly, as a great human being and family man.

Darlene and family, we are so sad at Jon's passing. He was a wonderful cousin and I loved him. I remember many fun times we had taking Tony the pony out for a bareback ride, getting dumped off, and laughingly getting right back on. Jon taught me to be persistent. May God be with you today and in the hard days to come. Sending much love to you and yours.

Darlene, John and I are thinking of you and your family. I had such great times with Jon helping Jean and I at Atco. Loved and will miss his stories. He was such a sweet man and coworker. He will be missed by many.

Mary Jo and I were deeply saddened to learn of Jon's passing. While we celebrate Jon's reunion with our Lord, we recognize he will be greatly missed by family and friends left behind. Our deepest sympathy to Darlene and the family of which he was so proud and to Jon's many, many friends and associates.

I had the privilege to work very closely with Jon in Scouting. He was an exceptional volunteer and together we celebrated many, many "mountain top experiences!" He was tireless, generous and exemplary in performing the Gerald R Ford Council roles of VP Boy Scouting, Mackinac Rendezvous chair and Council President! Jon also served Scouting as a volunteer at the Regional and National levels. I was always proud to count Jon Graska as a great Scouter and an even better friend.

Scouting and west Michigan lost an exceptional individual in Jon's passing.

Rest In Peace dear friend. May God continue to bless you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Graska family at this sad time. Fond memories are what we have of Jon as the "voice" of Scouting. Words are never adequate in moments like these. Our hearts go out to you and we will always have joyous memories as we were privileged to have in known and worked with him in Scouting. May the love of family and friends comfort you during these difficult days. He will surely be missed but never forgotten.

Jon was a radio professional. He was program director at WMUS when I joined the station in 1966 at age 17. I followed his career as he moved to WKBZ, and even was able to have him come back to 'MUS for election coverage in the late 70s. Sorry to hear of his passing at such a young age.
