Philip M. Jones

I am glad to have been a dental student of such a wonderful faculty member. (UMKC Dental Class 1966). Dr. Jones treated me no different being the second Afro-American to attend the dental school. Dr. Jones was instrumental in helping recruit other minorities to the Dental School. He was a wonderful and honest man. I am proud to have worked with Dr. Phillip Jones. The photo was taken with my wife, Gerri, at the 2005 Commencement.

I was saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Philip Jones. He was one of my teachers while in dental school. He was an outstanding, devoted educator. After joining the faculty he was a mentor to me, and,more importantly,a friend. John I. Haynes, Pediatic Dentistry

All members of the UMKC dental community mourn the passing of Professor Emeritus Philip Jones, who served with great distinction as department chair and member of the faculty teaching dentistry for 40 years. On behalf of our faculty, students, staff and alumni, we wish to convey condolences to the entire Jones family.
