Joseph Edwin Jones

How grateful I am for the moments I and my family shared with Edwin Jones. When I was confined to my bed for several months, Edwin was diligent to visit me and cheer me with ward news and events in the neighborhood. When he learned I had not read any of Gerald Lund's "The Work and The Glory" books he volunteered them for me to read; we shared many happy conversations. I was a frequent guest in his home, and so appreciated the kind hospitality that he and Ethna extended to me. We shared...

We just got the news of Uncle Edwin pasing away. It brought back many memories of the Circle K Ranch and simpler times. I can still hear him and my father (Albert) playing duets on the piano in the lodge entertaining us all. He was a very talented and giving man and had a positive influence on those around him. Our most heartfelt sympathy and condolences are with you.

Edwin lived at Legacy with my father-in-law, Bill. Our Girl Scout Troop went over to have a Christmas Party last December and Edwin amazed us with his organ playing. We just found out about his passing and are very sorry to have missed his services (we were out of town). We shall miss his boisterous and jovial welcomes when we go to visit my father-in-law! He will definitely be missed! My favorite saying of his was "I do not know who you are, but you look familiar, WELCOME!!!

sorry to hear about edwin i work at legacy and will miss him in the sing along telling cindy to repeat the song

I was in junior high and high school when your Dad taught me private piano lessons. At that time in my life my interest in playing classical piano pieces was very low. I struggled to practice and he could tell I had put forth little effort during the week. Whether he was inspired or whether it was what he did with all his students, I'm not sure, but he started teaching me to play the church hymns. I would practice during the week and at my lesson he would lead and I would have to follow him...

I knew Your Dad, Grandfather, Great Grandfather for such a short time but he will always be in my memory. I am so proud to have known him. Sue from Legacy Village

The memories that came flooding back to me when I saw Edwin's obituary are so precious. Brother Jones baptized me when I was 8 years old back in 1965. What a wonderful, loving and supportive family he created for those around them in need.

I was so sad to see that Edwin has passed away. I tried to locate Edwin just after I was in the MTC (Oct. 2006) to once again tell him how much I and my family loved Edwin for his faithful service to us as kids. He was our home teacher for many years, and he made a huge difference to us. I would not be here in the Philippines serving a mission with my husband if it were not for his influence in my life.
May the loving arms of our Heavenly Father be around all of the family at his...

Mark and Doug, your Dad was another of those Mesa icons that we, who were influenced by his love and talent, can only look back and marvel at his accomplishments. What a legacy he has left for over a hundred of his decendants, and the stories will reach hundreds more. The only sadness is the loss of his companionship for this short while until you are together again. Every other thought is joyous.
