Well Roy...I have been around with your family for many a year and am so very grateful to be a part of it. You will be missed so very much by the many people who lives you touched. I especially loved the spaghetti dinners at the Trinity Church with the family...and the Blobster bibs. Dave and I and my family send our sincere sympathy to the family. R.I.P. Pop Jones!
