He leaves to cherish his precious memories, his loving and devoted wife, Audrey S. Jones; his daughters, Shelia and Linda Jones; his sons, Robert Jones (Jackie) and Tony Jones (Clarissa); his stepchildren, Andrea Holmes and Arden Meekins (Andrew); his brother, Raymond B.

A special "Thank You", to the Hospice nurses and Dr. Wang, Dr. Hanger and Dr. Biernack for all your loving care.
