Dear Sid Jones Family,

It's taken a long while to catch up and I don't know if any of his family will get an alert about this posting but worth a go!

I'm the oldest grandson of Sid's brother Ernest Jones.  Ernie was 7 years older (and there was another brother Leonard who died young).

Sid and Ernie were born and brought up in Portsmouth.  Ern was a great guy, had a fun sense of humour and reading some of the memories shared here about Sid, he seems to have been the same.  

Ernest's two children my mother Patricia (Pat King) and uncle Phil Jones remember Sid when they were very young and his wife who they called Paddy.  I believe Sid came over to visit Ern (and his wife Hilda) in the 80s or 90s as Ern died in 1998.

I think there are lots of stories that could be shared about Sid and Ern and it would be great to hear about the Jones family in Canada and to tell you about your relatives in the UK (and other parts of the world).  Ern as already mentioned had two children (Pat and Phil), Five grandchildren (me (Nick), Chris, Jeremy, Ben and Samatha (Sam)) and six great-grandkids.

If one of the Jones clan finds this message and wants to open the door to the UK side of the family then please get in contact.  My email is nickking40@hotmail.com.  In the meantime, sorry to hear about Sid, I'd loved to have met him...:)

Best regards, Nick

To the family of Mr. Jones,
I cannot tell you the sadness I feel at your father's passing. I can tell you that he always made me laugh. Since the arrival of my parents at Central Park Lodge/Grandview, he is the one who made the big change for them easier. As their dining mate, he had kept them amused with so many stories. Right up until late November he would visit my parents and tell my Dad a joke and give my mum a hug. He teased me about my car and continously challenged how it could keep making the drive from Toronto every few weeks. I really cared for him and looked for him every time I arrived. I have looked the past 3 days and just found out of his passing. So I'll miss you terribly Mr. Jones and ,yes, I'll bloody well drive the Honda until it falls apart. Many hugs and great sympathy to your family.

Dear Sidney's Father,

Deepest sympathy in the loss of your Father.

My Father also lived at Central Park Lodge/Grandview, this past year.  
 
I got to know your Father quite well and I can tell you that he was a very special person.  He really touched my heart as well as my Father's.  
My Father, Frank Smith, lived across the hall from yours and he was always checking on my Father.

Sidney, when I would see him, would always ask ..... Sandra, how is Frank?

My Father, Frank, passed away a couple of days before your precious Father.

In ending I wish your family good health and happiness in the New Year.  God bless you all.

Sincerely,

Sandra Taylor

There wasn't a day that would go by that he wouldn't make me smile or laugh out loud.  He lived each day as a young man, with humour and an incredibly positive outlook.

It was a blessing to have known him.

Siddy Jones always knew how to make the boys smile. Whether it was singing out loud at the top of his lungs or tying his shoes while standing on one leg at the age of 90. He'll always be remember as beauty! 

Love em and will always miss him.

RG

Maureen, Dave, Rebecca and Alex:
We will miss and think of your father and grandfather often. So sorry for your loss.
