Governor Jones was one of 4 Governors I worked with in my political career. He was one that stood out for his compassion and love for others. Always welcomed and entertained his friends and constituents like no one else. Memories of events at Airdrie Farm with the Jimmy Church Band will always hold a special place in my heart. However, the greatest honor he ever bestowed on me was to coordinate his inauguration. What memorial moments of working with him and his precious wife Libby to make it just the day and evening they would always remember. I will always be indebted to both of them for their trust in me in so many ways.
Brereton may you rest in peace with God until we meet again.
