To the Jones family who i love so dear. I can't find the right words to express how much your father mean to me and my family . He was friends with my parents ( Rev. Richard and Margaret Holmes) for years. We grew up together with his kids and shared two nephews. Rev. Jones walked out what he preached. He loved the Lord and is loved by so many people. May the work I done speak for me. My God wrap his arms around each and everyone of his family. You loved him but God said come on up and take your rest. Again love and all family.

Sending my deepest condolences to the family. Rev. Jones was a pleasant man and was truly a man of God. To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord and he will greatly be missed. R.I.P Rev. Jones

I send my love and condolences to Rev Jones' family and congregation. I worked with Rev Jones at Ft Eustis and found him to be a mild mannered, industrious, energetic, friendly and dedicated worker. He was a pleasant person to work with and to be around. He was approachable and sometimes would crack a joke. He will be missed and remembered for his presence and affect in many lives.
Be blessed and encouraged.
