So sad to know that Yonny has passed. But so lucky to have known him and to have had him in my life. He was a friend, father figure, mentor and someone that helped shape my life. He was kind and giving and showed me how to have fun when I was young. He was someone that I could talk to and he was always willing to give advice. I used to look forward to when he would come home from work and would jump in the pool and play ball and wrestle with us. He was a class act. He always treated me like family and he would even insist I call when I got home from a late night out just to make sure I was okay. He helped me make some amazing memories from my childhood, many I still think about today. Yon was an amazing husband and father. It was obvious how much he loved Susan, Jason and Josh. I spent many nights and weekends at the apartment in Brooklyn and also at the bungalow in Ellenville. As often as I was around he always made me feel welcome and that I belonged. I regret not spending more time with Yonny in recent years and allowing life to get in the way.
Yonny, I love you and will miss you very much.
