Words fail. Love never does. I think of you and your wry sense of humor and gentle spirit and the way you and Mary would look at each other. I can't think of you without thinking of Mary. And without thinking of Alleana. Your daughter is your finest tribute, that's for sure. I am grateful to have known you, Jonathan. Biggest love, universe-sized love to Mary and to Alleana. Love is all.

My sincere condolences to Jonathan's wife and daughter and family. I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan on many affordable housing projects for the City of Oakland. He was a true advocate and a very thoughtful and kind person. RIP!

Just discovering Jonathan’s obituary after internet search to call him to discuss the “housing” mess we’re in.  He knew the forces that were at play with real estate, housing, etc.  Sad I won’t see him-for a while.  I worked with him at East Oakland Community Project. He led us through the process of being in a moldy old building into a new, state-of-the art homeless shelter. Love to famly
