Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss. I was a student at Brown County HS while Mr. Jones was the principle. He was great principle and very well respected. One of my fondest memories of Mr. Jones was on one Saturday night a couple of us were bored and looking for something to do. We went to Mr. Jones home and knocked on his door. The porch light came on and there was Mr. Jones. We asked him if we could play ping pong at the high school. He looked at us for a moment, gave us the keys to high school,...

Our condolences to your family. I taught at BCHS and 2 of my children were in HS while Merlin Jones was principal. He was a kind man and wonderful principal. God Bless you.

I remember Mr Jones as a kind, considerate, well prepared teacher, at Unity High in Mendon. He taught our Biology class and made it informative and fun. I am sure he will be missed by his family and many friends. God Bless. Faye Hermsmeier Exton

I am a graduate of Unity High School, class of 1961. My sincere condolences to the family and all that loved and knew Coach Jones.

Coach Jones has always met a great deal to me for it was his strength and steadfast modeling of Christian ethics that help me become a man, I mean that with all sincerity and honesty.

Coach taught me second effort and that I was capable of achieving great accomplishments best, when I appreciated the proper attitude.

Coach Jones...
