Grandpa Jones was a great man and a heck of a storyteller. Wish I could sit down with him and hear him tell another one. Miss you and love you Grandpa Jones

I want to give my deepest condolences to the family and friends of “Seargent Jonesy.” He was quite a character of Boulder Dam and a good friend of my mother’s. I’m sure he is very missed by many and will be remembered. Thanks for all the laughs Jonesy and have a good journey!

Dear Family,
I was a nurse at Hoover Dam and I worked with your father. He was kind, a good friend and told so many witty stories. I truly found him to be a great man. I always kept in touch with him and will miss him. I am so sorry for your loss.
Love, Trudy
