We did not know Mr. Jones very long, as he was Dad's room mate for only a short while at Treviso. Felt for him though in his struggle to the last. Our thoughts are with his family as you say your final goodbyes. With sincere care, The Bill Malray family.
When I first moved to Longview to coach at LHS, Mr. Jones was one of the first people I met ...he cracked me up every time we got together to look at sporting goods.
Starched shirt and a smile. So sorry for your loss.
I have fond memories of coaching with Phil in l961 and 1962 in Mineola. In 1961, Phil had no experience and I had one year--thank goodness for good players. We remained friends throughout the years.
