Dr. Robert Holmes Jones

Dear Family of Dr. Jones
Having just learned of your loss this is late getting to you. I can only imagine what a wonderful father and mentor Dr. Jones was for everyone. Having known Ellie for years and knowing the quality of person she is it has always been apparent that she had a great backgound. She radiates love and warmth to everyone she meets. She is an example to everyone she meets. She has always expressed a great love of family and has made no secret of the fact that she had a...

Our prayers and fondest memories go out to Kathryn and the girls along with family. We treasure the moments of family charm and love that he shared with us! Men like Robert make this world a wonderful place to be.

All our love,

To the Jones Family,

I was very sorry to read of Dr. Jones' death. He was a very colorful personality in the folk harp community. I have had the pleasure of his attendance at several of my workshop presentations -- the last being in Atlanta a few years ago -- and always enjoyed his remarks and observations during breaks. He provided a great spirit and positive attitude for all in attendance.

Best wishes to your entire family as you continue with his wonderful memory...

I met Robert at the Beginning in the Middle. What a thoroughly nice man, an encourager. The world is diminished by his passing.

I am so sorry. I met Dr. Jones at a liturgical harp workshop in New York. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Mrs. Jones & family,
I am greatly sorrowed to hear of Robert's passing. This news reached me via the Atlanta Folk Harpers group of which we were both members. I was privileged to first meet your husband several years ago at an Allison Kinnard workshop at the Atlanta Celtic Festival. I had just taken up the harp at the time, and jokingly referred to it as my 'mid-life crisis' instrument. He was so kind to share his experiences of beginning a new instrument later in life with me. ...

Dear Liza, Rob & Family,

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Liza's Dad. Rob, you've told me many times how much you like and respect him. I'm sorry for your loss, and my prayers are with you.

We will miss his relaxed friendship and interest in music.
