Thank you Dean Karyanis for posting this tribute to Jonathan Sandys (https://historyauthor.com/jonathan-sandys-god-churchill-a-tribute/) on the week of the second anniversary of the day we tragically said goodbye to him. I’ve just listened to it again and really appreciate both your words about him (you really got the measure of him!) and your interview with him. God bless you darling Jonathan. Xxx

I knew Jonathan for a very brief time around 2003 ish. We met on a dating site and after a few dates realised we were not compatible, but I have fond memories of watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and getting to know him for just a brief time. Jonathan was complex and interesting and I was so sad to hear of his death. Jonathan messaged me back in 2010 and he told me about his wonderful wife. He said 'she is a wonderful and fantastic young lady with a vast amount of intelligence. She denies it, but I maintain she is vastly more intelligent than I am. Sara is wonderful."
I'm so glad Jonathan managed to live a life of love and that he had children. I'm so sorry to all of you who no longer have Jonathan in your lives. Sending much love.

Jonathan was a kind man, with great enthusiasm, and a keen intellect. I met him virtually through my friend Kimmy. We were supposed to meet up at the Churchill Museum here in Missouri, but missed each other due to his first hospitalization. We spoke on the phone that day, and I tried several times to call back, as I was worried he was so sick, so far from home. My husband and I had talked about driving down from our home in St. Louis, but never heard back, so was relieved to learn later there were friends with him. We followed his journey via Facebook, and continued to pray for him during the illness. His optimism and bravery in the face of a terrible terminal illness spoke well to his courage and character. Having faced my own medical emergency this year, and survived a brush with death, I marvel even more at it, in retrospect.
I really enjoyed interacting with Jonathan, and his writings, as well as his enthusiasm for life. He seemed to have never met a stranger. Condolences to the family, and prayers for his eternal repose. The world is truly a bit duller without him in it.
