One more note to Doug, Tom and Linda, I am really sorry I wasn't there yesterday. Just couldn't pull it off. Hope we can get together this summer and reminisce. Such fond memories of Don, Ann, Aunt Jane and you all.
One of my memories of Don was after I got kicked out of a BB league as an 18 year old. My parents didn't know what to do and kind of gave up, but your dad reached out to me and got me back on track. I think it was his stories and his laugh. "Jimminy crickets, Bob, you can't keep doing what you are doing". "Maybe you need a kick in the fanny". Whatever he said, was what I needed.
Our mom and dad just loved your parents and ALWAYS looked forward to spending time together. So, so many good memories.
Anyway, hope we can get together in a few months. Love you all, Bob

My dad always said Don was his favorite cousin. They were like two peas in a pod. Who knew what they would do when they would get together. All the Brow kids thought Don was a great guy, also. We always looked forward to getting together with the Jones' from Kirkwood. Our Love and Prayers are with you all. Bob, Joy, Abby, David and RJ

Our sincerest sympathies to our dear cousin Don Jones. My father, Richard Brow, and Don were the best doubles tennis partners in all of NYS (or at least they thought so). We will miss his wonderful sense of humor and his super active lifestyle. Our prayers go out to Doug, Tom and Linda and their families. Love to all - Roger and Peggy Brow.
