Mr. Jones was my principal at Westmoreland Middle School, and Mrs. Jones was my 4th grade teacher at Kellogg. I will never forget Mr. Jones paddling my brother. He was a man of few words, but you could tell that he cared about his job and the students. May God give you strength and peace during this difficult time.

Dear Family, Please accept my deepest sympathy. Mr. Jones taught me in 6th grade some 26-7 years ago at Ceredo Elementary. I remember him as a patient teacher and of great character. I also remember a paddle he used on me only once :) He had a way of get through to us rowdy guys. I thank the Lord for the priviledge to have been taught by him. May God bless and confort your family in this season of sorrow. Respectfully, Rev. Ramsey Mannon
