We are so sorry. My mother just heard and she called us. He was the best. I wish we could be there and I could get her there but it is impossible. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

To the family of Mr. Fred Jones , I work at Camellia Place Assisted Living in Auburn, Alabama and if this is Mr. Jones who used to come play and sing with music there I want to express my condolences. When I first heard him perform there I was very impressed . In fact I bought one of his cassette or cd s. I am deeply sad to hear of his passing at this time . His music really touch my heart and I am sure the residents at that time . May the Lord Jesus comfort you All..
