What a guy...I'll never forget the good times. Camping, floating, softball and my summer employment @ warehouse. He was a great friend to the Jones'.

Some of the best times of my life included Bob. Camping and boating at Tablerock, float trips, working for St Louis Steel Erection. Just driving between points with Bob and my Dad, listening to country music and Paul Harvey, never got old. Bob had a great laugh. I can still see him sitting in the near-dark, next to a gravel-bar campfire, .22 magnum 6-shooter on his belt, a Bud in his hand, and the incessant calling of whip-poor-whils and frogs as a soundtrack. RLB was a great friend to our family. I knew Bob as a respected, tough and smart Steel Erector. But he was also notably compassionate and generous with his colleagues, employees, and Iron Workers. I learned a lot during my times with Bob. He was a good man. Love and condolences to Barbara, Lisa, Lori, and Alberta.
Sincerely,
James J. Jones, Jr. (Jay)
