I attended Rochefort American High School 1953-1956 so I can't say that I knew him personally, However, because he attended he is part of our group that meets every two years some place in the United States. We, as students in Rochefort at various times, are sad for your loss and pray that God will give you and the family the strength to carry on.

Mr. Jones , as I knew him, was a wonderful person. I remember how kind and gentle he always was. When Johanna and I were "up to something we shouldn't have been" he always knew and would step in and just love us kindly with that fatherly love. I will cherish those memories and am thankful I was a part of his life. Johanna is a wonderful, kind , and giving person with a big heart for God and people. She was raised remarkably well to believe in God and love unconditionally. I thank God for our friendship. May the peace of God be with you today and always. Love, Pamela (Meadows) Wickman

It was so hard to lose you. My heart hurts. But you are now with mama. Keep each other company until we all get there. We all love you. We will take care of each other, just like you asked. My tears will stop someday but or now please reach down from Heaven and wipe them away like you did when I was a little girl. I close my eyes and feel you hugging me. I love you Pop!
