OmG never one moment that I saw Barney at work that he didnt have an amazing smile on and always told me that if someone is treating me bad,  to let him know and he would take care of them.  Ha his spirit is something I will never forget and I can only hope that the people he met his whole life will be more like him.. RIP Barney u touched so many.. pray that your family has peace that you are in an AMAZING place 

I am blessed that you were so involved and invested in my life, Grandpa. I was always so excited to call you and Grandma about the newest internship, scholarship, or opportunity that came my way. You two really are my biggest fans. I knew that every time I called you I'd be met with a: "Well how ya doin' good lookin!" Your wit and humor are reflected in everyone who met you. A couple days before you were called Home I told myself that I needed to call you to let you in on the latest development in my life. I am so sorry that I never got the chance to tell you. You definitely would have had a lot to say about it, but I truly believe that you would have supported me. I guess you are seeing everything from a different view now, and I know you are watching over every one. It is comforting, in hard times, to know that I am a Jones. While I may have your eyes, all of the courage, strength, and resilience that you emulated in your amazing life is part of who I am as well. You were simultaneously capable of never blinking yet holding compassion for your friends and loved ones. You were a true patriot and I hope to grow into a fraction of the person you were. You truly lived a life you can hang your hat on. I'll see you again some day, and catch you up on anything you may have missed while telling a joke to your brand new audience. I love you, Grandpa. 

Hi Barney, I was just thinking about our  hunting and fishing trips when you lived in Metaline Falls and I would come up and stay with you.  Remember how we hunted every weekend in the  fall?  You would buy a slab of bacon and we would go into the woods and hang  it from a tree...we never got our bear but we had great times just you and me.  I also have great memories of fishing the chain lakes up in that neck of the woods too, just a couple of young guys enjoying the beautiful country and each other's company. I miss you something terrible. Love your cousin, Sterling.

Me and my sweetheart  met Barney at Beth’s College Graduation, and he was everything Beth had told me he was; kind, compassionate, and generous. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. The thing I remember most from that day was how truly proud he was of his beautiful wife. Love like that never dies and will live forever. I am very thankful I had that day with this wonderful man! 



Dear friend Beth,
To know Barney was to love him, and I surely did. He was kind, good-natured, and generous. He was very good to the kids and I when we were neighbors on Exmoor. I especially loved his silly jokes, the joy in his hearty laughter, and the twinkle in his eyes. Barney’s love for you was paramount, and he was a true gentleman. I am so grateful that Jeff and I were able to visit you and Barney in Tennessee two years ago, a memory I will forever cherish. I am deeply saddened by his passing and my heart is breaking for you. How fortunate are we who knew the love of this great man, Barney Jones. 
You are in my heart and prayers.

We sure do have lots of times we recall, sitting out back on the deck or in our kitchen, tossing down some beers, enjoying pizza and laughing lots at Barney’s quick wits!!!  We’re so thankful for the friendship and laughter Barney brought us!  Miss him lots!

Beth; I am so saddened by Dads death.  My deepest condolences to you and all your family.  You are a true gift to Dads life.  You are also, the great love of his life.  You made him so happy and he adored you.   When he spoke about you,  he was so filled with love and joy.  You gave him a love he never knew before and he treasured it with all his heart.  He described you two as...soul mates, best friends and made for each other.  He told me what a wonderful lady you are (as has everyone).  He spoke of how  supportive, gracious, funny, smart, caring, warm etc. you are to him and, all you meet.  Most of all however, is how loving you are.   You made him completely content, wanting for nothing but, to spend his life with you. 
Dad loved me more than I deserved.  He waited (a really long time) quietly and patiently while I learned humility, forgiveness and truly how to love.  He generously opened his arms to me and we hugged.  That was Dad.  One hug and any problem vanished. 
 He will always be the smartest man I will ever know.  The funniest man  (sorry Craig and Paul) I will ever know.  The most generous man I will ever know.  The strongest man I will ever know.  The bravest man I will ever know.  The most handsome man I will ever know.  The most humble man I will ever know.  The most forgiving man I will ever know.  The most gentlemanly man I will ever know.  The best laugher ever.  The most loving man I will ever know.  HE IS...THE GREATEST MAN I WILL EVER KNOW.
Rosie, her family, and I will keep you all,  in our thoughts and prayers.  God Bless you.
                                              With deepest sympathy
                                              Margaret (Jones) McKay
