After graduating from Brown University where he served two terms as editor of the Brown Daily Herald, he returned to Pittsfield and started the Gazette. For nearly thirty years, the Gazette covered the people and happenings of his hometown with reviews of regional theater sprinkled in when the seasons permitted. Jonathan was driven by a strong sense of right and wrong and used his forum to praise city officials when he felt that was deserved and to call out those whose actions he felt were not in the best interests of Pittsfield’s citizens. He is survived by three siblings, David, Cathy, and Ian, and three nephews and a niece. With his passing, the Pittsfield Gazette will cease publication in both its print and online formats. virtualrealporn Subscribers and advertisers will be contacted regarding the disposition of funds on deposit with the paper.  The family asks for patience as it unwinds the business affairs.
