Trish and Family:

I am so sorry that I was out of town when Dick passed and was unable to attend the service. Dick was a great friend and fellow Lincoln Mercury Dealer. We enjoyed many many golf outings and business meetings together. I will miss him tremendously.

Randy Blount

Just a brief note to thank Mr. Jones for having made me the happiest 8-yr old on the planet in 1969, when he personnaly delivered a 1969 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 to my father James Segasture at our home as an amazing surprise for the family.

I'll always remember Mr. Jones as a very happy man who was a great friend to my father.

Our deepest sympathies to his family and his many friends.

Will Rodgers once said."If you want to know what a person is like. Just ask the fellow who works with him. I worked for and with Mr. Jones.and I know he was a great person and a
wonderful boss. I always felt good being in his presence and I was lucky to have known him.. My deepe
st sympathy to Trish and family. Larry Kleeschulte
