My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I have many fond memories of my Uncle Ray taking me fishing and playing catch with me as I was growing up. I always looked up to him and he will be missed.

Guy and Clara Jones and their daughters were our "across the street" neighbors growing up and All my fondest memories include them. Guy and Clara were like my second set of parents.. Of course back then he was Mr. Jones but he was the nicest, funniest,, smart, patient, decent, honest man in the world....always willing to help anyone in need. My heart is with you Clara, Kitty, Terea, Lisa and Tammy!! Love You, Becky Drenckpohl Purtill

Upon arriving at his home the morning of the storm, I was amazed at how calm both he and his wife was. We put them in a boat and off they went. It break my heart to know of his passing. RIP Dr. Jones.

My sincere sympathy to the Jones' family. Dr. Jones was a man of integrity and a respected director at Stilwell Technical Center. I was originally in a vocational position at Edison Middle School and Doc Jones placed me in my desired Office Education program at STC and I taught in this field for 29 years! He gave me my start and I will always fondly remember his leadership and how through his expertise knowledge and guidance, countless PAISD students benefited by their vocation education! May God's peace be yours at this time of sorrow.
