Jim, Erik and Jim…my deepest, heartfelt condolences to you and all of your family and friends…to all who knew and loved Kathleen, Kath, Kathy, Sargent Marino, Auntie Kathy, Hon, Mom, Mama…friend. Although I knew her for just a snip-it of time in her beautiful life…she touched me deeply…kindred spirits perhaps? I only wish I had known her sooner, shared more laughs and made more memories. But those we did make will be with me always. Honor, Grace, Integrity, and the commitment to love and care for others…personally, and professionally…what a legacy! What an inspiration! I will truly miss her…and know I will think of her often throughout my life and my career. Goodnight Kathleen…
Tanya, Meg and Caitlin and Dawna

Tanya and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. He is now your guardian Angel.
So sorry to hear about Jonathan. I lived on Phyllis Dr just a few houses away from him. He was a lot of fun. Thoughts and prayers to his entire family. May he RIP.
Jon, God Bless You.
To the family, I worked with Jon for 30 years with IATSE 11.

May Jon rest in peace.
