I was saddened to hear about your loss. As you know,I met your Dad when I came to Bi-LO and was very fortunate to have worked with him for several years. I remember his smiling face and the wit he had for all sorts of occasions.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
Dear Kim and Greg, Have many fond memories of your dad. We spent a lot of time putting up wallpaper in one of my homes, and I’ll never forget the time he was painting the outside of another house. I heard a loud crash, and went tearing out the door, to find him on the ground and on his feet. Don’t know how he managed to fall off the ladder, and not be injured. At the time, he was really having severe back pain, and didn’t really need to be painting, much less upon a ladder. I just remember him as a very good friend, and we always spent time catching up on things when I happened to run into him around town. He had a sensitive soul.
My Dearest Jones Family , My heart goes out to you in your time of loss! Greg (my best friend)and Kim ,I love you as so I have your father . He will be missed ! He lived a good life and was a good man. The proof is in his legacy he has left behind. I always looked up to him and will never forget this great man ! My prayers are with you all. The ‘ Jones ‘ have always been apart of me ! So let us Thank God for Mr.Charles Jones time on this earth! With all my love , Stephen Guy
