Vera, Warren and family, please accept our heartfelt sympathies on the passing of a dear man. We will always remember his dedication to our small community and his sound legal counsel. Our prayers are with you.
I found Mr. Jones to always be polite and a pleasure to work with–a very interesting conversationalist who loved to share his knowledge about the area to those of us who were newcomers. The legal community will indeed miss him. Sympathies to his family and friends.
Vera & family, I am so sorry for your loss, he was a very nice man who I had the pleasure of knowing,I did work for him & He did work for me, with a smile & always with a hand shake. He will be greatly missed. If you need anything Vera just give us a call. Again we send our greatest sympathies to you & your family.
Jim and I admired Bart and found him so caring and always helpful.. The sorrow of losing a child leaves a huge hole in the hearts of you and his family but wonderful memories eventually make it bearable. Why our children are snatched away from us is a question without an answer. However, as a tribute to those we’ve lost we suffer our horrific pain and are grateful for the time we had with them. I truly know the depth of your grief. Bart, a credit to you, Cliff and himself, will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Keep a stout heart for the steep climb and know, Vera, have my most sincere sympathy.
Our family’s deepest condolences, we will miss Bart tremendously!
So very sad to hear of Bart’s passing, We thought the world of Bart and Cindy. Bart was one of a kind. What an honest, respectful gentleman. We always counted on Bart so much and he protected us. When we moved to Florida to retire, he still helped us and we love his staff. His family will be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless him.
