Artist: Jonathon Chandler (Halifax, VA)
Underwriter: Tawna Kingsley, in loving memory of Jon D. Kingsley Sr.
A jet flying toward Heaven is how the underwriters want to honor the memory of “Pappa Jon”, a father, a grandfather, a great-grandfather; an engineer, a pilot, and a boat captain, as they lovingly described him. Nestled in a serene spot at Northshore Park, surrounded by trees and overlooking the water, it is in a location where his family can go and be close to him.
The words of artist Jonathon Chandler, “My sculptures are larger than life,” clearly describe how he fulfilled the Kingsley family’s vision of a lasting tribute to legacy and inspiration.
