Jon's Story

Right after high school I traveled part of the world (on US Army dime) when I got out I became a bum for a few years. Hitched around the country, stopping where ever to work when I needed money. Got married in 1983 and settled in Sacto CA till 1991. Got two wonderful children during that time. Moved back to Belleville in 1991 and got divorced shortly after. My 6yr old son and 3yr old daughter stayed with me. Raised them alone till 1993 when I met Lisa. She came with a 6 month old daughter. We married in 1996 and have been together ever since. Our children have grown and gone. All three are happy healthy and successful in life. I can’t take too much credit for that. Lisa was/is a fabulous mom. I probably spent more time with them but lisa has always been ‘the boss’. We both worked but lisa was working night shift as an RN. Basically I was primary care till they became teens then lisa took over. I taught them skills on how ...Expand for more
to survive in the woods, how to garden, cook, swim, fish and shoot. When lisa took over she taught them how to live in the real world. So, in 2019 I had to retire from Dillard’s. I worked in the maintenance department for two stores - Fairview and S. County. My back quit cooperating with me. Lisa and I moved to Tennessee july 2021. Purchased our home in 2023 after the real estate bubble broke. We will be here till death. Lisa is still an RN, working for the VA. I take care of the household chores. She is still ‘the boss’ but it works for us. Our son works for Toyota as a maintenance engineer, him and his wife gave us our first 2 grandkids - a girl and boy. our oldest daughter married a beginning body builder who has since taken two of the three coveted world trophies. They gave us twin grandsons. Our youngest daughter is in college for engineering and gave us our 5th grandchild, a boy. In a nut shell that is my life story.
