. >> today i have an in memorium for jonathan simmons. jonathan was an artist whose personal story can inspire all san franciscans to become their best when making the most of their individual talents. jonathan was told he would not make enough money to support himself. he traveled to new york and learned the skills of photography, painting, and eventually engineering. this man became a technical illustrator who worked to design the lunar module, designed in ejection seats from fighter planes and solved numerous problems. all the while his sensational -- insatiable quest made him a collector of rare items from stamps and coins to pocket knives. jonathan moved to san francisco asking the children to search for the perfect place. he is the sort of san franciscan who not only loves the city but also understood and appreciated its unique beauty and wonderment. it is with heavy heart that his wife and two remaining sons and their family bid farewell to this husband and father. i want to say my family's thoughts and prayers are with the family.
