Richard C. "Dick" Jones

I met Dick & Betty a couple years before Chris was born. They were quite a pair. I knew their sons Sid & Mike too. It was sad to hear that Betty, Sid, Mike & now Dick have passed on.
I moved away and did not keep in touch. I regret that very much. They will always evoke good memories. Especially the dog, (OLY) I gave them for Chris. I can still hear them cussing me as the dog liked dig up Bettys flower beds.
My sincere condolences to Dick, Chris and all the Jones family.

The memories that I have of him in my late teen and very early adult years are only through letters and phone calls, when him and my grandma would keep in touch with me after...

Our family sends their heartfelt sympathies and condolences. Dick and his family were an integral part of our growing up since our dad worked for Dick & Gene for many, many years. My dad's years with Columbia River Paving were probably his most memorable and productive of his life. We saw Dick and family often in the early days of Columbia Little League and Heights Babe Ruth because he and my dad were very involved with coaching. We always thought Dick was so intimidating because he was...
