Joseph J. Jones 1941 - 2018
Owned and Operated Jones Repair
POLAND, NY - Joseph J. Jones, 77, of Poland, NY, died Thursday, August 3, 2018, after a brief stay at the Siegenthaler Center in New Hartford, NY, with his family by his side.

Joe retired from the F.X. Matt Brewery, where he worked for thirty years, before starting Jones Repair, where he worked for an additional thirty years. Joe was always very dedicated to his customers and his family; nothing made Joe more proud than to work alongside his son and grandson. Hunting was his favorite pastime, and he always enjoyed sharing a Utica Club with his life-long friends.

Joe was blessed to have many special friends and family who were very supportive during his brief illness. His family wishes to thank staff of the 6th floor at St. Luke's Hospital and Hospice for their compassion.

Dear Jones Family,

Joe was one of the nicest guys I ever had the privilege to know. The world is a better place for his presence in it. May God bless him and his family.

Dear Liz and family,
Rich and Joe are having great conversations in Heaven, I truly believe.
Whenever we would drive by your house, and Joe was outside, we'd have to stop and talk about anything and everything.
He was a good friend to all who knew him and will be missed by many.
My prayers are with you and family.

To the Joe Jones family, just want to say that Joe would always try his best to help people in need. Not too long ago, he was at my sons home, with his son correcting a problem with my sons well. Referred to me by Peter Huckabone, I was assured the job would be done right. Im sure he will be missed by a lot of people. Thanks Joe for being there!!

To the entire Jones family...so sorry for your loss. Joe was Joe...hardworking and always had some crazy story or would tease in a humorous way. You couldn't help but love him! He will be missed!

Liz,Kim,Mark,and families,
I am so very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I don't believe a kinder man could be found on this earth! Not once did I ever call him that he didn't arrive as quickly as possible with some amazing solution for a problem! I always felt better once he was on the job. A wonderful, clever, sweet man. The world will miss him .Heaven must have some jobs for him!You are all in my prayers.

To the jones family, joe was a one-off a kind guy, he was always available to help you out when you needed a part or someone to get your well up and running. He was well known in the well business and probably one of the best to call when you needed help, Today people look for cheap price and allow strangers to come into their home with no knowledge or understanding on how things work or the ability to commucate with people as a trusted friend. Joe was and will always be a trusted person and one of the best in the well business.
May you always Rest In Peace and thank you for your kind and professional service throughout the years.

I will so miss leaving you a message on your answering machine saying to call your favorite niece...I will miss you stopping by making me fill out all those trespassing signs every year..I will miss all the corny cranks you did with the girls...the list goes on and on and on...I still have your limburger, sausages and pickled eggs at the house that I was going to give when you got better. My heart has not ached this bad in a very very long time. I love you and will miss you...Love to your family....
