Rolland Robert "Bob" Jones

Sally, Robbie and Scott,

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Bob in the Madison District in the capacity as the Teachers' Association President. Dr. Bob and I worked closely from 2001 until he left. We shared many a laugh and at the funeral when Robbie said that his dad would say all those people came to just to get off work early, was exactly something Dr. Bob would have said. I respected Dr. Bob for his commitment to students and loved going to those board meetings right after...

I worked at Madison Meadows when Bob was Superintendent, and about three years ago, our paths crossed again when he came to Balsz District, just across the street from GateWay Community College, where I'm the principal of the Early College High School. Bob gladly served on my Advisory Council and worked hard to promote the early college initiative as one that was critical to the success of underserved bright kids in his district.
It is poignant and ironic that on the day Bob died, PRI...

Sally - This is Suzanne Mahon, former principal of Madison Meadows. I was just made aware of Bob's death today. I am so saddened by his unexpected and untimely death. I will be lifting you and your sons up in prayer for you to receive comfort as you experience this difficult time. Bob's life was truly special. He was absolutely, without a doubt, the best superiintendent I ever had. We had so many laughs together when he came to Meadows. In fact, one year he made is 1000th school visit...

Sally, Robbie, and Scott,
My heart cried when I heard of Bob's passing. I taught in the Madison District for 9 years. During that time, I found Bob to be very personable with Christ-like characteristics. He was there for our native american committee when we were dealing with a bitter parent in which he helped us to be successful in a legal matter. We blessed him with a pendleton blanket at our annual pow wow. Bob was so appreciative and so sincere. I grieve for selfish reasons, but I know...

We are happy that we had the opportunity to meet Bob & Sally while Keegan & Scott played club soccer together. We saw them again when Scott & Keegan attended CLU. Bob will be missed and has left a lasting impression in the community.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers,
Carol and Jim Thompson

Sally, Robbie & Scott -
We were so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. We are so grateful that we got to know you guys over the last four years - Scottie was probably one of the first guys Greg met at CLU, and became a fast and lifelong friend. We enjoyed seeing you every time we were able to get out to LA for a CLU soccer match. Thank you and Bob so much for helping us parent Greg from afar. We were very envious of your ability to get to nearly every CLU match. We will never forget...

I had the privilege of teaching with Bob at Indian Bend in his early days. He was one of the kindest, funniest educators I have ever met!
I remember him dancing with other teachers in the Faculty Lounge and dancing at my wedding, 25 years ago! I know his family, wife and sons have many wonderful memories of this extraordinary man. Hopefully this will ease the loss. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

To The Jones Family,
Mr. Jones (as he will always be known to me) was the the assistant principal at Mirage Elementary a million years ago when I was a student there. He was truely a wonderful leader, he made an impression where ever he went, it speaks volumes of his character and love for students that I remember him from my days at Mirage in the late 70's early 80's.
As you already know he is a wonderful person and his inspriation will live on in the lives of the students that he has...

Sally,
I hope you and the boys can keep all the wonderful memories of Bob close to help through the coming days. My prayers are with you.
Love,
Deter
