Uncle Booley will always be remembered. My fondest memory will be the 10+ years I always saw him on Easter Sunday. We met with a group of friends and shared stories, sang gospels, oldies, and talked trash. He was my mother's ( Jean Jamerson Jones) brother, and she loved him dearly. I hope they are now in heaven together. She passed 25 years ago.
Rosa, Whistle, Pluck and Nate stay strong. Rosa you have been a faithful wife, always tending to his every need, especially cooking meals daily and his favorite fried chicken and beans on Wednesday. You did all you could and will be blessed.
Goodbye Uncle Booley,
Your Niece Roz(Telia)

To the Jamerson Family, Our hearts was trully sadden when we heard of the passing of Hugh. Hugh and I worked together for several years. I will always remember all the fun times that we shared together at riverside brick. Our friendship did not end after he retired. May God continue to Bless you and your family.
