My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He was such a great guy. The last time I saw him was early August in Lowes and we were goofing off in the plumbing section because I had a busted water line and nobody there could help me. He was acting like he ran the store and just being his silly self. He will be greatly missed. He truly was a sweet and caring person! RIP Greg - Fly high my friend!

Greg "Jonesy" Jones was such an exceptional person, a "Class Act" human being.
I along with many will miss his friendship and conversations over the years that usually always ended in humor and a smile. He had a unique way to make others around him feel better regardless of their situation. Anyone who knew Greg were better people for their paths crossing. Prayers go out this day and the days ahead for his wife, family and friends. A hard working man with a big heart. I take comfort in knowing I will see him again.

Greg Jones "Jonesy" was like a brother to everyone he met. Always the first to help anyone in need. Always smiling. Always trying to make everyone around him happy. He enriched the lives of everyone he came in contact with. He was an extraordinary man. A loving husband, father and grandfather, a wonderful son, a true and loyal friend. His infectious smile and personality brought joy to all those around him. He taught us there is always something to smile about every day.
We will always LOVE Jonesy and will never forget him as long as we are on this earth. If we could all be a little more like him the world would be a happier place.
Thank You Lord for the time we had with our brother. May God Bless his Family and give them comfort as we mourn the loss of such a fine man.

Jennifer and family we are devastated to hear of Greg's passing. He was always there to help you when you needed his electrical service no matter what his schedule. We will remember the gentle and humble way he had and will miss his friendship. We wish you love and support during this difficult time. It makes us smile to think his mom was waiting there for him as he arrived.
