I met Andy Jones when I was coordinating the Akus Gallery in the 1990s and have fond memories of a warm and generous colleague.

I offer my deepest condolences to the Jones family for the untimely loss of their beloved husband, father, and brother.

Dear Andy. I will never forget the first time we sat in your class and you introduces us to the CT quarter with your art work of the Charter Oak. I am sorry that I was only able to take your 2D class; I wanted to do more painting with you but it never happened due to class schedules.

I visited Andy in the Fall. He gave me apples and a jar of maple syrup

Andy was a special soul. As well as several paintings, we have one of his special benches, hand wrought with his special touch, just below our window.

We have known Andy since he came to Hampton. We have many of his paintings that will keep him in our hearts. Our condolences to Deb and his family. He will be missed. Eunice and Ron
