My Dearest Grandpy,

This is hard to write as I am so lost for words. 

I love you. You are such an important person to me, as I am sure you know. I question how I will manage without you. I have endless good memories with you and Grandmy. Every second weekend with you both, waking up Saturday morning to the smell of bacon and eggs. You would cut the whites off of my egg and cut my toast into little soldiers to make dipping easier. I always got to chose the restaurant to eat at for dinner. After, we would go to the movie store around the corner to pick out a movie for you and a movie for me. Without question, you would drive my sisters and I to all our doctor and dentist appointments. When I started college, I wanted to have a part time job, which was difficult without a car, but you took time out of almost every day to pick me up from school to drive me to work. You were always there for me. Nothing can come close to your love for me and mine for you! You taught me the true meaning of love.

My favorite and most recent memory is when you watched over MoJo my cat, you were instantly in love with him and he was in love with you. You were also completely convinced that MoJo was a girl and her name was JoJo. No matter how many times I told you I would hear a few moments later JoJo.. JoJo, come here Jojo, my sweet puddy cat, who's a good girl? 

I can go on and on... But that won't change that your time with us on earth has come to an end. Although I am heartbroken, I know you have left me with a life time of beautiful memories and for that, I am grateful.

The world lost a great man, but heaven gained an angel. Thank you for fighting as long and hard as you did those last 6 weeks. I am so thankful we were able to surround you by those who cherish you. 

I love you grandy. Please watch over us with Auntie Debbie 

Love always,

Your granddaughter

Melissa

My condolences... every time I met Ray, he had the warmest smile and was very kind to my children and me.   God Bless each of you.  
Karen Pental and kids.   
Ps. My dad also sends his sympathy and prayers

Mark and Family,

I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I will never forget of Ray who captured my heart with his loving nature, very charming character, humor and generosity. His voice singing "Mein Hut der hat drei Ecken, drei Ecken hat mein Hut, und hat er nicht drei Ecken, so ist es nicht mein Hut" stay in my memory forever. Heaven has gained a wonderful person! Rest in peace, dearest Ray! My thoughts are with his loving family who helped him to leave this world in light and love and peace!

I will think about you, because in my life I attract jokes, corny ones, and you are the King. Whenever I hear one I will crack a smile and maybe imagine you behind the inspiration. If I think Im getting fed up, instead of blow up, I might take a page out of your example, send a light heart moment in to break up the tension, get a laugh and help everyone forget what ticked them off to begin. You left, but you left a fine example of a man, a husband, a dad, a grandpy and a friend. No one can easily forget those. <3 With love and very fond memories, I thank you and wish you peaceful journey in the next life

Will miss you every day at the coffee shop,rest in peace Ray.Pat and Charlie.

Thinking of you all as you celebrate your dad/grandpy's remarkable life. Holding you close in our thoughts and prayers. Love Joyce, Steve, Ryan and Kristen Cox

Mr jones was a wonderful man he will be missed by all.

I've known grandpy for all 25 years of my life, and it just will not ever be the same without him. He always treated me as his own daughter. He attended every single birthday, special event, graduation, and party without fail. I spent many sleepovers at the Jones house with Melissa, and every night grandpy would tuck us in with grandma, and give us a smooch and a goodnight, God bless! He drove us all over town for appointments when we needed someone. I will miss his silly jokes, cute little grins, hugs and kisses, his stories, and his beautiful way of loving everyone around him. I am so thankful I had the incredible chance to spend 25 years with him, and will ALWAYS hold a very special place in my heart. Thank you for loving me as your own, and for always being a part of my life even though you did not have to be. Grandpy was a gentleman, a patriarch, a silly goose, a loving animal-father, a shoulder to lean on, and an amazing grandpy/father/husband/friend. I am grateful that he is at peace now. We have all gained a guardian angel, because I know he will not ever stray far from those he loves. We are thinking of you always Grandpy. May you rest in peace xoxoxoxoxoxo

Yours always,
Laura

I love you dad, so glad you were a part of my life for nearly 33 years. You were a wonderful father, husband, father in-law and grandpa. You will forever remain in my heart, there will not be a day that passes that I wont think of you... Go to Debbie, rest in peace and know that you were the only dad I ever had.

Sad news. As a teen, I spent many hours at the Jones residence.  Always a lot of fun. I remember Ray Jones as one of the nicest people I have known, a gentleman. Our condolences to the family.

Ron, Carolyn and Cara Harris- Orillia
