The love he had for others could be felt by all who heard him play, and he was one of the most standup men that any family would be proud of. He loved his family dearly, especially his wife Mary, and will be greatly missed.

(Carol) Jones, Jr.; five daughters Felina (Mike) Wilson, Elizabeth Jones-Murrell, LaTonya Thompson, Natasha (Babacar) Fall and Nakeisha Fuller; one brother Joe Harris; five sisters Minnie D.
