Wanting to memorialize his son in a way that would speak to Jonathan's passions and make a positive impact on the lives of others, Joseph Gitelman contacted the Jewish National Fund. That conversation led to a memorial page on the JNF website that outlines Jonathan's story and serves as a fund-raising tool for a charity that marries his heritage to his enthusiasm for baseball.
Behind Mr Gitelman are two pictures of his son, the one on the left is his Senior picture from high school and the other is his son receiving his collage diploma.
