I write to offer my condolences to the Jones family. Mr. Jones was a wonderful man to all in my family including my father, Beasley Jones, who worked with him at Dinwiddie High School. He was a true role model for many of us in our formative years.

I wish to express to the Jones Family my sincere sympathy. Mr. Jones taught me at Southside High School. I remember him to be a dedicated and serious but fun teacher who always kept us on task. I have fond memories of him as my teacher.
May God give you strength and comfort in your hour of bereavement.

Sincerely,

Raphael and Mary Cuthbertson
