The Four Aces are together again and Jack is there cheering them on. Pat, my heart and prayers go out to you and Chris, Mark, and Donna.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Jones family at this very sad time. I remember Jimmy well and worked with him on many mutual aid calls with our departments. He was a good Firefighter and will be missed by everyone that ever knew him.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. We are sorry for the loss of your dad. He was an amazing man with a heart of gold and his passion for the fire service that he passed on to his son Mark. I had the pleasure of meeting him thru his son Mark and always enjoyed his visits to the station. Every time I saw him at the hospital or at Mopars in the Park, he always gave me a big hug and always had the biggest grin on his face. We saw him last summer at Mopars in the Park and will missing seeing him there. Take comfort in knowing he is at peace and may your memories help comfort you during this time. He is watching down on you from the big Mopar Park in heaven. We will keep you all in our prayers. RIP Mr. Jones.
