Nancy, My heart aches for you. My prayer are with you all. Some of the memories I had going on in my mind since this great lose was him say Jones is the name and you know the rest. Green beans at Christmas one year, whip cream another. The one race he won and he had a hard time getting the helmet off his head he was so nervous. He will greatly be missed by many. And loved by all who knew him.
