“We will fondly remember Jonathan at his time at the Hub for always being kind, friendly, mannerly, enthusiastic and always willing to get involved and lend a hand. A quiet, modest fella, Jonathan would’ve been busy behind the scenes making sure all was set up ok for the traditional night and other events run by the Hub.

“He always had time for people and would often call in even on his days off to see how things were going.
