WORLEY C. JONES Jr.

age 82, died peacefully in his sleep on Thanksgiving morning, November 25, 2010. Worley was born in Kaufman, TX and moved to CA at the age of 21 after serving in the US Navy. He met his one true love, Audrey Booth, while working together at Van de Kamp Bakery in Los Angeles. They married in 1950 and have lived the past 46 years in Montclair, CA. Worley was proud of his accomplishments and was a true cop, through and through. He worked as an airplane mechanic, Dallas Police Department, Los Angeles Sheriffs Office, and eventually the CHP as a patrol officer and motorcycle cop, retiring as Commander of the Santa Fe Springs office. He held the CHP family close to his chest and was well respected in everything he accomplished in life. He taught at Rio Hondo College and was an active member of the 10-10 Travel Club for many years. People remember his insatiable sense of humor and he was quite the practical joker. His colleagues remember lots of fun, some heated discussions, but most of all a man of integrity who was always fair. During his career he earned his MS Degree which was a very proud moment for him and his family, having come from troubled and humble beginnings. After retiring from the CHP he started his own business reconstructing accidents for attorneys and insurance companies which included court appearances as the expert witness. This second career proved to be very successful and became his hobby until he sold it at age 80 when he truly retired. He is survived by his wife, Audrey Jones, daughter Marsha Carr and son in-law Steve Carr of Folsom, CA, son Ken Jones of Prescott, AZ, grandson Jeff Carr of Corpus Christi TX, granddaughter Jill Carr Copur of Folsom, CA and 5 great grandchildren: Sophie and Lucy Copur, Lydia, Josiah, and Jeremiah Jones Carr. Thank you Jeremiah for carrying on the Jones name. He is also survived by his sister Sonja Callicott from TX and Neil Jones from Tennessee. He is predeceased by his sisters Sally Seitz, Jo-Von Tucker, and Charleene Hodges, all from TX.
