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.

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.

Trish & Richard, Jr. I was so sorry to here about Dick! He was a Great Mentor to me. I was honored to be one of the original "Jones Boys" back in the 70's.
He will be missed.

May 3, 2013

Mr.Jones "The Boss". Never has one person in my 44 years of life influenced and motivated me as the Boss has. He was a kind ,fun loving,intelligent, self made man. His appreciation for the rewards of hard work and attention to detail, including his upstanding personal word made him an icon in the automotive industry and to the community.

The Boss taught me a lot about life and the value of believing in people and treating everyone as a friend because they were. There will never be another Mr.Jones. The boss once told me If you love what you do for a living you never work a day in your life. The Boss loved life and all people that he touched directly or indirectly.

I feel blessed to have been able to say The Boss was my friend and I loved him. There will never be a day that goes by that he will not be thought of and missed immensely.

Until we meet again, I will live my life modeled after the man whom I admired and loved dearly. Rest in Peace my Friend.

Love,
Earl Nuesse III

To my Friend,
You have no idea much you will be missed. I have loved your visits, I have loved your stories and most of all your kindeness to all my children.

Your leaving has left a hole in my heart that will last forever.I thank you and Trish for your gift of " The Blessed Mother Picture' which was once given to you by a friend. No greater friend than my friend Dick Jones... Sincerely and with deepest Sorrow..

Our community has lost a great friend and a wonderful human being. Dick was very quietly and humbly generous to so many people. I have had the high honor of knowing Dick for many years through business but, more importantly, I have considered him to be a friend. My sincerest condolences to Trish and all of your family.
