To Paul and the rest of your family; Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. Your father was an institution as well as an inspiration in the north Capital Hill neighborhood where we grew up and I still live. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you.

To Paul and Mrs. Jones: I was saddened to hear of Mr. Jones passing. My deepest sympathies. I share David’s memories expressed and would add memories of cub scouts and other growing up events on N. Capital Hill ans Seward school. In regards to your dad/husband I remember thinking he was a real important man because he had so many signs out in neighborhood yards, owned his own building up on Broadway…and the big granite house on Broadway! My thoughts and warmest regards are with you.

Dear Allan and family,
I am very sorry about your loss. Your dad had a way of putting me at ease. I always felt good in his presence.
Your aunt, I recall her name as Rene, as an agent at Russell Jones Real Estate, sold me my first real estate investment in 1969. This was a very positive experience for me.
You are in my heart.
Kind regards,
Tom
The Russell Jones Real Estate Co. found us the perfect home in which to raise our family back in 1972. Every time I saw the Russell Jones sign over the years, I remembered how helpful he and his staff were. Our sincere sympathy to the family.
A great Lion, half of a great team, Marjorie. May it be of comfort to you to know that your loss is shared. Warmly, Susan
Don & Carolyn, Just want to offer our condolences on the death of Carolyn’s Dad.
