Mr. Jones - Man, you were awesome. My Mom used to teach at Crofton Woods in the late 70s and you let me and my sister Heidi play basketball in the gym. You taught us the soul clapping handshake. You always had a great smile on your face and all the kids were instantly drawn to your warm and happy way. I've thought about you through the years and wondered how you were doing, and always smiled remembering hanging out with you before school started. You'll be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Jones' family. I clearly remember him when I was a student at Crofton Woods back in the early 80's. He was kind and considerate and I always remember him setting a great example for young children.
I hope your family finds peace at this time.
