JONES, Rowland Dan - b. July 30, 1921 - d. September 9, 2011

[Judy Harder]

Just heard that Roland Jones passed away this morning, at a hospital in Wichita.
Please keep their family in prayer.........I am sure he is in God's arms now.

Also Treva Kramer isn't doing a bit good. They have taken life support off of her. More later.
Sad news, I am sorry to say. Both these people have been movers and shakers here in the area.
God be with their families.

Rowland was a devoted friend.  He lived a good life, and he will really be missed, by his family, and all who knew him.

Grandpa Jones was a great man. Always had a smile on his face. I never saw him get angry even when there were fires coming across his place. My prayers to Gladys, his son Glenn and Karla, and all his family he has left behind.

Our sympathy and prayers are sent to Roland's family.  He was a great person.  We always looked forward to seeing them in Elk Falls at the reunion on Memorial Day weekend.  When I worked in the bank (in Howard), he always came in with a smile.

I never saw Roland without a smile.  If the world was made up with a Roland Jones attitude, there would be no wars.  I've know Roland and Gladys for 60+ years.  He will be sorely missed in our Eastern Star Chapter..that is for sure.  I will miss his hugs.

 His Grandson Scott's wedding is going to have a vacant place in it.  

Blessings and sincere sympathy to all of the family.
