John Jones Obituary

JONES, John It is with great sadness that the family of John Stanley (Sonny) Jones, son of Ellis and Ruth Jones, announces his passing on Sunday, October 9, 2016 at the age of 82 years.

Sonny is survived by his wife of 63 years, Josephine Morale Jones, children Stephanie Burgess and husband George, Annette Scudder and husband Tommy Holloway, Duke Jones and wife Alicia, numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, sister Patsy Ruth Fain, brother-in-law Matt Morale and wife Joan, sisters-in-law Pauline Parr and husband Raymond, and Angeline Crawford and many nieces and nephews.

Josephine and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I went to church with him at St Johns, but knew him from many years ago when he and my dad were members of IBEW local 59. Sonny was great guy, I will miss him!

I think Sonny was my father's best friend back when Sonny joined the apprenticeship, and dad joined IBM. Only got to work with him a short while back when I was an apprentice in Dallas, but enjoyed it just the same. My condolences Josephine, he will be missed.
