Obituary of Jon Alan Mine

Born in Mansfield, Ohio, Jon grew-up in Rumson, NJ. He graduated from Valley Forge Military Academy and attended the University of Akron. Jon had a long career in sales which ultimately led to his position as owner and president of CBS International, a computer and business supply company. Jon retired in 2007 to spend more time with his four grandchildren and pursue his “tinkering” hobbies. A man of many talents, Jon built everything from computers, to cars, to assembling his grandchildren’s toys. He found great pleasure working on his projects and helping others out in any way he could. Jon resided in Bridgewater, NJ with his wife, Diane Burton.
