Hazel, Barbara Jean, Leslie and David

Was great to see you guy's at this past weekends Memorial race in honor of Harvey. Havey was the BEST DAMN SKEETER racer of all time in my book and am proud to have known him. It's a honor and prevlidge to have been able to have raced with him. I have many fond memories of Harvey as as young man growing up close to the OLD Jacksonville Speedway Park here in Jax in the 60's watching him out run some of the the best...Jimmy Lee Capps, Herb Spivey, David Ezell,Tommy Moon, the Yarobough's and then in '70s after moving to Lake City I was able to live my life long dream and race against the ledgend at Lake City, Columbia County and North Valdosta-Thunderbowl Speedways. Harvey was such an intense racer and racing he did... from hot laps to the checkered flag of the last race...hope to see you guy's at many more races and know that Harvey is up there with Sambo, Alburey, Marlin, Hulon and the REST of the gang taking the crossed Checkereds again

I watched Mr Jones race at Lake City many times as a child and I wanted to race the same way he did.
He was great! May GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.

Enjoyed seeing you on the track Harvey. Now heaven has a great dirt track racer!

I have many fond memories of Harvey Jones, (Jones Special 6). He was the first driver I saw with a uniform. White pants, & a white shirt, on the back in a arch up top it said Jones Special, in the center of his back was a number 6, below that in a arch was Tallahassee, Fl. All of the lettering was in blue. Matched that blue 6. I first saw him & his brother Hulon at 75 speedway, back then we all called it I-75 speedway. Harvey & Hulon did battle every week with Sam McQuaag, Eddie Mc Donald, a lot of others. Hulon lost his life in a racing accident at 75 spdwy. I was a Harvey Jones fan, my friend Harold was a Sam McQuaag fan. (Harold named his daughter after Sam). After 75 closed I watched Harvey at Thunderbowl. After getting grown I helped a friend of mine build a race car & race at Thunderbowl. We worked with the Cooper Bros. & their dad Johnny Reb., on the race cars. Then I got to know Harvey personally since he drove for Johnny and his brother James in the yellow 68. We raced at Thunderbowl, Pavo, LakeCity, & Waycross. Harvey helped us all a lot. He knew more about racing than anyone I had ever met. The last time I saw Harvey was several years back at the old Jax. raceways at Pecan Park. He said he remembered me, but I don't think he did. But I will never forget his wife telling me, "Harvey always asks me, what ever happened to that pretty little girl I married? She said I always say , "She ran off with a old man". I thought that was so sweet, they cared so much for each other, I know they will miss Harvey as we all do.
In my book, Harvey Jones was the best.

Hazel,Albert and I really enjoyed all the times we watch Harvey and #6 race at many different trackes.Also the many times you ,Al,mom and I sat in the stands cheering him on.He was a real legand, and will be missed by all of us.God bless you and your family.With lots of love ,Albert and Faye Jones and family

Dear Hazel & Family, I was from Jax and spent many a race Speedway Park and some at Lake City, but the Thunderbowl at Valdosta was the greatest of shows. Harvey was the Track Master. I was amazed at how he would jump cars from 6 to 68 and race again with just a wipe of sweat and win again and again. Another great show was seeing Brother Hulon racing side by side. Each trip to Valdosta was such a joy because of Harvey, Aubrey, Sam Mac and Eddie Mac. Memories for my lifetime. TIM COWAN, GARHOFA, JAX RACEWAYS HoF, & LIVING LEGENDS

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Hazel & Family,
Harvey was an idol to so many kids and adults that loved dirt racing. My daddy was Raymond Futch, who passed in 05. He drove the jeep and wrecker for years at Thunberbowl.We were raised at the tracks as kids. It was an event to look forward to every Saturday. The memories burned in my mind of the Blue 6, and the yellow 68, will be with me til my days are done. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you deal with a great loss to your family and the racing world. If it is any comfort, your family member meant so much to us fans. He was truly a LEGEND. God speed Harvey Jones

Mrs. Jones & Family,
We are very saddened to here about Mr. Harvey's passing. But for anyone who knew him, knew that he was a good man,& a great racecar driver. We learned of his passing to late to make it to the funeral, however; he will be greatly missed. I have been a fan of his since I was in diapers, that was 44 years ago. He is definitely a legend that won't be forgotten. I would go to the races just to watch him race.(Valdosta,Lake City, & Cordele) I have a lot of good memories of Mr. Harvey & your family in the stands cheering him on. I got to see Mr. Harvey and Mrs. Hazel again a few years ago at the Drivers Reunion in Valdosta. I was happy that my kids got to meet the man that I had told so many racing stories of. Mr. Harvey seemed to like my daughter's hair up in that bun. So now she has her own good memory of him. We will keep your family in our prayers.
May God Bless and Be With You

We Love You
Sam, Lynn, Amanda, & Jeff Lawton (II)Davis

I watched Mr. Harvey race when I was a little girl. He was a great racer! He will be dearly missed. We are praying for you & your family.

Dear Leslie and family, please accept my sincere sympathies for your loss. I hope that you may find peace in this terrible time. Words cannot express what your father meant to tallahassee and the southern racing family. Harvey will always be remembered as the greatest race car driver from tallahassee, ever. his accomplishments will never be surpassed. Thank you for inviting me to be a small part of that history. I will always remember the trophies, the racing shop and the great man himself. I hope one day to see you again, until then please remember you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all , james

Ms. Hazel and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all during this time of grief. We too think back when Jeff & Jon where younger watching Mr. Harvey race at Lake City. His love for racing helped shape our love for the sport of racing. He will be greatly missed.

Hazel & Family I am so sorry to hear of the lose of a loved one,I grew up loving harvey jones because he drove my dads racecar # 68 Cooper Bros Special, and he was very!! good at it, and then there was all those times we had eating meetings wheter it be at his house or at dads shop, where Mr. harvey introduced me to raw oysters,those were the days back when real men raced real cars built with blood, sweat ,and tears , I will allways remember setting with Mrs. Hazel at the races eating jollyranchers that see would bring on sat. nite,until i was finally old enough to go in the pits. He will be missed. God bless you and your family. Keeping y'all in my prayers.

TO the family, Harvey was the nearest to being a brother that my dad could ask for, Now Harvey,Hulon, henry,and dad can race and talk all the time. I will miss seing him at the groceries ,we talked racing. but i have a lot of photos to refect on .love always Tony Whittington

I was always amazed everytime I saw that blue #6 pull on the track, he was probably one of the best, and man could he drive even in his later years he was still winning races. He will be remembered. I hope God will give the Family a Peace that will pass all understanding!!!

Ms Hazel and Family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Pray that God will fill you with his Peace and Love. Our oldest son Johnny Ray said he saw you and (Mr Harvey) as he called him, in Brunswick several weeks ago, but never got over to talk with you. He was asking Rance Phillips how you all were doing. We will greatly miss Mr Harvey as he set an example for my boys in racing. Johnny Ray asks me to find all the photos of him and Mr Harvey we have. We are thankful he was a part of our (racing life).

Leslie, Barbara Jean, David, Janie & Hazel,

I just heard the news this evening. Pam called from North Carolina. She heard the news through my cousin who lives in jacksonville and must have read about Harvey in the Times Union. I am so sorry that I didn't know until now. I would have been at the funeral.

Your dad and all of you are so much a part of our earlier years. Harvey gave us all a glimpse of a true racing legend. Those nights at the tracks were special to my mom, dad, Pam and I.

Please know that our prayers are with all of you. Also, I just had a thought. I'm sure he and my mom and dad are all having a good reunion by now.

Cindy Roe Littlejohn

Our World without Harvey has changed: racing will not have "The Legend", thereby, racing has changed. Hazel, May you find peace in knowing that Harvey now reigns with some of the racing best in Heaven. Just look up Love Ron Trout

Ms. Hazel and Family
I know Jack Rentz and Harvey is having a time of their life right now. I met Mr. Harvey once with Jack. The Rentz's family are friends of my family. Mr. Harvey was a very nice man when I met him. My God be with you and your family

Homer Reid

What a racing legend! We have many memories of racing with Harvey as well as sharing ideas and experiences about racing. Our greatest memories will be those times he stopped by to visit at my shop. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To the family:
Harvey was so well thought of in the racing community and also in his home town. Through the years i watched him race many times.
I had the priveledge to talk with him at some of the Jax. Raceway meetings and he was so interesting and cordial. He will be missed.
Cleve Powell, Jax. Raceway booster

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

A part of history died along with Harvey. What he and other drivers brought to Valdosta was a chance for kids and adults alike to have local heroes,he will be missed.This community needs another dirt track with a museum and it needs to be deticated to Harvey Jones.

To the Jones family.We are very sorry to hear about your loss. Mr. Harvey was a great man, and truly one of a kind. He has touched the lives of many people at the racetrack, including myself.

TRULY A LEGEND TO ALL.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,

Ms Hazel and family
In your time of sorrow may it ease your pain to know that others are thinking of you. Mr. Harvey will deeply be missed. I always looked up and respected Mr. Harvey as a driver and mostly as a friend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. I, like many others, remember watching him race as a young boy. It seems just like only yesterday I was watching him, Daddy (Billy Flowers)and Curtis race. I remember going with Daddy to Harvey's house and hanging out with them and Leslie. Harvey touched alot of people's lives in one way or another and he will be greatly missed by each and everyone.

Dear Ms. Hazel and family,
Our thougts and prayers are with you and your family. Gene loved Harvey and always spoke of him as his racing hero. He really looked up to him. Just last week we went to Brunswick and Gene was asking everyone where was Harvey and Ms. Hazel. It was such a great honor to know Harvey and all of his racing stories, some may only hope to be as blessed as this man in the racing community. He will be missed by everyone in our family and all the others. You are in our prayers and thoughts.

With deepest sympathy,
Gene and Debbie Maine

My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Harvey "PoPs" Jones. He was my childhood hero as my Dad and I spent many many nights and days watching him at the local race tracks. We never missed a saturday night at Thunderbowl, as I used to show up in my special made suit. Half blue, and half yellow, with the numbers 6 & 68 on the back that my Mom made for me. I looked forward to seeing him drive the wheels off of the "Blue Goose" and schooling the rest of the field. He was an amazing driver and man and I am proud of the memories he gave me over the years! God Bless him and his Family! My thoughts and prayers are with the family! But as for PoPs, I know he's dressed in his white racing suit, sitting behind the wheel of ole #6, with the perfect setup schooling them in Heavens Raceway as my Mother and Father cheer him on! Gods Speed Harvey Jones! Thank you for the memories! {\0/}

To Mrs. Haazel & Family,
We send our deepest sympathy. Mr. Haryey was truly a legend. My dad (Bobby Nash) raced with him and later was the flagman at Lake City Speedway Dad was also one of Harvey's biggest fans. My dad passed away in Jan. of 2006 . I'm sure he was waving the checkerd flag for Mr. Harvey as he entered Heaven.

The son of the late Bobby Nash, also Ms. Mary Murray

I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. HARVEY WILL BE MISSED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE. I RACED WITH HIM A FEW TIMES AND NEVER MISSED A CHANCE TO TALK WITH HIM AT THE RACES. HE IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREAT RACERS. I LOOKED UP TO HIM A LOT.

Mrs Hazel and Family
We are sorry to hear about Harvey, he will truly be missed.

Mrs. Hazel and family, We are saddened by the loss of Mr. Harvey. I have alot of racing memories of Mr. Harvey starting in Valdosta 75, Thunderbowl Speedway, Patten Speedway, Albany Speedway, and Cordele Speedway and more. Seems like in those days no matter how long and hard we worked we could always make to the races. Thanks for alot of great racing memories. We pray that God will hold you and your family and give you strength.

My father, brother, and I all watched Harvey race all over south Georgia and North Florida. I had the pleasure of racing with him also. He was by far the BEST of all dirt track racers. We will surely miss him, but will never forget him. God bless you and your family at this sad time.

Please let me express my sincere sadness for the loss of Harvey Jones. My Father, Bill O'Neal raced with Harvey for a lot of years at tracks all over georgia & Florida. Harvey (as well as my father) was part of a generation that "made due" with what they had, they were the last of the self-made race car builders and drivers, there were no big money car or engine builders, these cats were tough & built it all by hand. I last seen Mr. Jones at North Florida Speedway last year and could still see the spark that made these type of men as tough as they were. He will me missed and his legend will live on. Gods speed Harvey Jones Sr.

Hazel and Family,
I was saddened to learn of Harvey's passing but know he will be kept in the hearts and memories of those that loved him dearly. I knew of Harvey's many accomplishments through Hazel's recounting of races and adventures. Her love for Harvey was in her voice and eyes. I know that it will still be there.

Mrs. Hazel,
I just learned of Mr. Harvey's passing. He was so very kind to me and my brother Fred Baugh. Fred was so thrilled to be with you and Mr. Harvey at the renunion. I appreciate your kindness to Fred and me. We will certainly miss him.

My sympathy to the family of the best dirt track driver anywhere. I had the privilege of seeing him race many times at the Thunder Bowl speedway in Valdosta Ga. He is truley a dirt track LEGEND.

Hazel and Family,
I have missed you all over the years but I always knew you were there. A huge part of my growing-up years has left us. I know that JONES SPECIAL is always going to be at a track "somewhere." I am so sad for all of you. What a strong, kind, southern man Harvey was. There will never be another quite like him. You will get through this with God and time. Love you all!
Tommy and Shelly Baisden

im sorry to hear about this. i loved watching him race as a little kid. im keeping yall in my prayers.

Mrs Hazel, Leslie, & family: Our hearts were very sadden this week when we got the call about Mr. Harvey. Yes, Mr. Harvey was a great racing legend, but he was always a "true southern gentleman". He always had a smile and a joke for me. I loved just being able to sit and talk to him; he had some great stories! May God hold each of you close and comfort your broken hearts. Mr. Harvey will be missed greatly!

Sorry to hear of the loss of Harvey.
He was a very kind man & truely a legend for all of us dirt track racers

Ms. Hazel, Barbara Jean, Janey, Leslie and David; I still have the photo of me and Harvey when I first him, Oct 6, 1979, I was 15, and he won the race that night in Lake City. From that moment he had a very special place in my heart as did all of you. I haven't kept in touch but that didn't mean I didn't care and or want to be a part of Harvey's life. He'll always be my hero. I'm just sorry I wasn't raised around him to know him as my grandfather to form that special bond. May God comfort and give you strength during this difficult time. To Mom (Rita Zangas), I'm sorry that we didn't spend more time together with Harvey and his family as a family. May God be with you as you grieve the loss of your father. I love all of you.

To the Jones Family,
I remember fondly the Blue #6 arriving at the Cordele Speedway early on Saturdays. The memory racing rival against our current Sheriff Donnie Harralson will be my biggest memory. They would go after each other on the track which was a highlight every Saturday Night. May God Bless all of you and be reminded that Mr. Harvey touched lives through racing that he never knew. He will always be a "legend" in my eyes.

I did not know Harvey jones personally, but I can remember may nights at Thuderbowl speedway watching the yellow 68 and the blue 6 dominate, and how Harvey was our dale ernhardt, the fond memories of my father cheering him on are so cherished, thank you Harvey Jones, for all those wonderful Saturday nights

I was friends with Connie when her daddy died and knew how important Harvey was to her at that time, the last time I spoke to him was when she died. At Centel, I had the priviledge of working with "Hot" for many years, he was a warm, surprisingly funny and caring man. A trusted friend to all. He will be missed by his family friends and to fans young and old. A real legend.

One my my heros growinup--He was a great racer--Will be missed--Kenny Futch
