Our sincere condolences go out to the family of Lt Col Jones. I remember him well from the days he was our Battery Commander at the Patrick Henry Airport Nike Hercules Site. He always sought and expected excellence from himself as well as those under his command. We pray our lord will give his family peace and comfort during this time.
