Norman Jones Obituary

Published by Fowler-Kennedy Funeral Home on Feb. 7, 2022.
The world lost a good man on February 7, 2022, when Craig Jones died unexpectedly at Mass General Hospital with his family at his side. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He was born in Richmond, Virginia on January 28, 1950, where he spent his childhood. He also lived on US Army bases in Germany and France during his father's military career. He is survived by his wife, Tresa, of Maynard, daughter Jaqlyne and her husband Cain Shultz and three wonderful grandchildren, Maeve, Shea, and Evander of Manchester, New Hampshire. He also leaves a brother, William, brother-in-law Rushern Baker III, sisters-in-law Trudy Chara, Trilla Ramage, and Twila O'Connell and their families. He was uncle to many beloved nieces and nephews and their families. He was predeceased by his parents, Alphonso and Naomi (Wooldridge) Beverly, and his sister Christa Baker. He also leaves behind two magnificent motorcycles and a much loved, well used bicycle. Craig worked at Fidelity Investments in Boston and Cornerstone Software in Nashua, New Hampshire as a software engineer. In his retirement he taught motorcycle safety skills through MOST Rider Training in New Hampshire. He also volunteered as a hike leader at the AMC's Echo Lake Camp in MT. desert Maine. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to the charity of your choice, become an organ donor, volunteer, or simply look for any way to be of service to others. Above all be kind and watch out for motorcycles.

Dear Trese, Craig was a wonderful hike leader at Echo Lake Camp and a favorite biking companion of Adam's on MDI. Adam always asked me to schedule our week when Craig was leading. I am so very sorry.

We are so sad to hear of Craig's passing. He led us on many hikes during our weeks at AMC Echo Lake Camps, and was always a calm, peaceful influence on those around him. The world needs more people like Craig. With sadness and fond memories, best wishes from Lauryl, Steve, and Malachy Dubin

I met Craig many years ago with Tresa at Echo Lake Camp. We shared parenting insights, and I appreciated Craig's motorcycle mechanic suggestions as I was refurbishing an old Honda Nighthawk 750 at the time. Very sorry to hear of his passing.

I met Craig at IBM in Littleton MA. He would be changing from his bike ride into work. I would be finishing my workout and tucking my motorcycle gear away. Over the years we got together for rides and his company was always a pleasure. Such an nice and easy going guy. My condolences to the family, such a big loss. God speed Craig..

I met Craig and Tresa at Echo Lake Camp. We shared the joy of hiking, nature, and being part of the Echo family. I always grinned when he flashed his beautiful smile. He was and is well-loved by the camp community. It won't be the same without him, but I know he's still hiking with us.

I have been remembering all of the fun times spent with Craig over the past 52 years of our friendship. Adventures at the University of Bridgeport, motorcycle ride from New Haven to Boston, so many walks through the woods, concerts and more. I will always think of him as my brother. My loves goes out to Tresa, Jackie and the rest of the family.

Dear Tresa and Jackie, I'm so sorry for the loss of Craig. He was a good man and a great friend. I'm still in disbelief. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I was looking forward to riding with him again this summer. We all had such wonderful times together. I will remember him fondly.

'Speechless' is an overused term. Yet it's the perfect word for what's going through my head right now. Complete shock. So unfair. I was assuredly looking forward to sponging Craig's deep knowledge of Acadia trails this summer at Echo Lake. The earth has a gaping hole as a result of losing Craig. My best to Craig's family - especially Tresa. Please know that he had great impact on so many people from so many distant places. He is sorely missed.
