George JONES Obituary

Born in Vancouver BC to Ethel and George Jones.
Survived by his wife Diane Wallace, son Sam (Heather), daughters Denise, Michele and Renee (Mike), sister Juanita Tucker. Known as Papa ChooChoo to his grandchildren Peter, Kahlil, Juniper, Karmen and numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his son Stuart and brother-in-law Sandy.
George was a very social person who loved coffee, listening to music, playing the piano, singing, cats, crosswords, model railroads, darts, travel, meals with friends, sunsets and clouds.
He worked for many years for the CBC in Vancouver, Montreal and Yellowknife. He retired in 2001 from a job he loved at BC Hansard TV. He belonged to the Newcombe Singers and enjoyed volunteering for many organizations in his home community of Victoria.
Special thanks to Sheila Grigg and Phil Rogers, Sheila and Darrell Norton for "being there" for us and to the many friends and neighbors who supported us. Also thanks to the patient and kind staff of Shine Cafe, George's favorite eatery.

It was a great pleasure singing and sharing the time at Oak Bay Lodge singalongs, George. You were an inspirational leader, always with a smile and a great voice. I consider it to have been a privilege to be a small part of the group....David

Though we didn´t know George, we do know Sam. Mr George Jones must have been an amazing man to have a son such as Sam. We are thinking of you all, especially Sam, Heather and family
