To the family of Bobby Jones. My sincerest sympathies. Great memories from when I was a little kid camping with Bob and Della and others. I have always had tremendous respect for Bob. He always treated me great. He was a wonderful man. We always had something to laugh about. It was usually something stupid I had done in my younger days. He truly was a gentle giant. He had a grip and a handshake like a vice. I’m glad I grew up in the time I did in Oregon. And knew Bob Jones. The village has changed so much over the years and so have the people. But memories of all the great adults that I got to know during my childhood will never be forgotten. Respectfully, Jim Snow
