I was not around you as much as others .But through Lucy I knew enough about you and I can say you were a compasionate person. Gloria

Dad, I think of you every day. I wish we could have spent more time togather, I wish you would have known your grandsons, but when you live in a different state it's hard to see the people you love as often as you would like. You were always there when I needed you. You never judged me for past mistakes, I will always remember and appreciate your love and guidance. It makes me so sad to think I will never be able to see or talk to you again. I miss you

Great Uncle Alto, I will miss the days when we would visit and you would give me and my brothers short Boxing lessons. I wish I had been able to spend a little more time with you then I did.

You were one of the best uncles I ever had and I will always miss you deeply.

Alton Jones(Alto) My Dad, Loved the movies. "Come back Shane" and passed that love on to me. Showed my boys how they could sneek into another movie! :) I never doubted his love for me and knew he'd be there in a second if I needed him. 

He loved boxing, when I was little i'd sit with him and watch the fights, and felt like we were buddies.

Rev. 21:4
And he(Jehovah) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry, nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
I look so forward to this day. When I can welcome him back, and hear him sing, "good morning to you, good morning to you"
Until then I will miss him terribly, and never feel the same.

Alto, my uncle, my dad's identical twin, and one of my best friends... As I said at the memorial, from you I learned that if people are going to be on the street and need a place to stay, or just need a shared meal, a good conversation, whatever it may be - you help them.  You didn't do it so much as charity, but more because you loved people, loved their stories, gave them their dignity, enjoyed being with them.  You really did treat people as you would want to be treated. 

I will miss our long phone conversations about the "issues of the ages" when we thought we would finally solve it all if we just talked another hour. I remember all the times the phone rang at 11, 12, or 2 am, and I just went ahead and jumped from sleep into a marathon conversation. Sometimes I fell asleep and woke up to you yelling, "Lucy! Lucy!" into the phone or to a beeping dial tone.

I remember all the times you took us to movies over the years, and how we always had popcorn, soda, and some kind of candy (Milk Duds or Junior Mints for me). And we sat together in coffee shops so many times over the years.  I used to meet you for lunch at Millie's in Hemet every week when we last lived in California, taking one or two of my kids and/or Roscynda. You made everyone laugh and feel accepted. 

One of your many stories was when you worked for some insurance company and the staff manager told everyone at a sales meeting that screaming would really rev you up and make you feel good. Afterward, you took another guy with you in your car to work, and all of a sudden, he let out a bloodcurdling scream that made you jump. He said, "Golly...he's right! It works!" I loved the way you told that story and all your others. 

You loved people, loved life, and made us all feel good to be alive, just by being with you. I will always miss you, Alto.

Uncle Al, thank you for being you. I have never met a person who didnt judge. You always have something good to say about people and would find the good in all, I loved all our lunches together. You were a wonderful man, husband, grandfather, uncle, and friend. I am so lucky to have known you... I will never forget you

Uncle Alto, What I will always remember is (The House of the Rising Sun) those who have heard it or him know what I am talking about. GREAT Memories.

Alton Jones was my Father in law and a true man among men, one of the few I have known in my life. He was there for me when Carolyn and I got married with good advice and support. He was very kind and a true gentleman. I will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace Sincerely Tony Williamson

Al Jones was an outstanding man with a heart full of love and light. He always put others before himself and he was loved by so many. He will definately be missed and I am so glad that I was blessed to have known him.

"Uncle Alto, I will allways remember you mowing the lawn in a full suit! You made us laugh and think! You introduced us to Bobs Big Boy seasoning salt, tha e loved! You are admired by many and mised by all."

Grandpa Jones, All the memories I had with you meant alot to me!  You teaching me how to box when I was young. Regardless of where we were always dressed to impress in your full suit. I definitely wish I could have made alot more memories with you growing up. The ones I have I will always hold close to my heart. You'll be missed grandpa by many lots of love may you rest in peace.        Kyle Williamson
