Not a moments gone by this last week that i haven't remembered another memory of times spent with Joe. He was my friend for 30 years, some of my best memorys are from working with him as a part of his building crew. His patience was incredible while he taught me how to build houses with him, even when my faith in myself faultered at learning something new Joe had faith in me and walked me through already knowing he could teach me, when I wasn't sure myself! That was the kind of guy Joe was, he believed in his friends more then they sometimes believed in themselves. I find myself one moment breaking into tears over him being gone from this world to breaking into laughter at an old memory, time spent with him at work or play or just seeing his smile in my mind.He brought such happiness and laughter into All the lives he touched , as only Joe could!
All my best goes out to the loving family he left behind and too the multitude of friends who miss him ! He will never be forgotten !!

Joe was a great guy, always had a smile for everyone. The WAHS Class of 1985 20th reunion was held at his house, and I will never forget the great time we all shared.
RIP Joe, the world is a lesser place with you.

Obituary Poem
WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love,
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, fromHis great golden throne,
He said, ‘This is eternity and all I’ve promised you”.
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day’s the same day, there’s no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.
Josie Maira (Bill's sister-in-law.

Our hearts go out to all of the Jones Family and Friends. For the last few days I can hear Karens voice echoing in my head that John and Joe are just "Good Men" and that they are Karen! :) Their parents should be proud to know that they have raised such good men. All our love.

Memories of Joe always included some kind of outdoor activity and lots of laughter. Joe had a way of immediately making you feel accepted and comfortable. I never heard him say an unkind word about the people he knew. He was usually smiling when I was lucky enough to come for visits. Some of the very best memories of my youth take place at Jack and Vivien's house. Joe's family are some of the best people I will ever know. My heart is just broken for you all. Joe, you touched our lives and although we hadn't seen each other in years, I always remember the time we spent with happiness. We will miss you, Joe.

Oh the fun we had…
I remember the early days when we moved to PA back when I was in 2nd grade. My brother and I started going to the Elementary school in Hawley when I was in 3rd and it was then that I first met you Joe. We were in the same class, were on the same bus and sometime in 3rd or 4th grade, we were in the same Cub Scout Class with your mom, Mrs. Jones as our Den Mother. It was pretty soon thereafter when our Moms became fast friends that we became childhood pals…..
I mostly remember the laughter….whether it was from you pulling some silly stunt on john or from the countless times when you simply messed up in one way or another that left john shaking his head and everyone else laughing at the aftermath, there was always something you did that left every one with a grin on their face. Or how about those moments we had when our parents got together almost always at your house, Elvis music playing in the background…the time in Sunny Point when there was bat in the upstairs attic and the laughter that was brought to the party with the efforts that were spent on trying to get it out of the house which eventually resulted with your dad breaking out the shotgun only to find that those things could literally dodge bullets, hysterical, or later on when you guys moved into your big house on the lake, more Elvis music and even more kids to play with, you guys were always the center of attention and it was just so cool to be around in those days…running around on those ATC’s that your parents honestly thought were more safe than our dirt bikes, crazy I know, but man you could drive that thing like non-other…I remember hanging on for dear life bobbing and weaving through the woods around your place and the endless times down to the lake to go for a swim off the dock or getting ready to go out on the boat considering myself lucky whenever there was the chance to go water-skiing with you guys. It was just so much fun being around the house or going out on the water with you guys!! I’ll never forget dragging those inflated tire tubes behind the boat in tandem when we would have tube wars or later on when we learned how to sail hanging on in the biggest winds!! Or how about in the winter when we would all go tobogganing down that old ski hill across the street from your place when we were kids?? And lest we never forgot the unending rivalry we had whenever my Pittsburg Steelers played your beloved Dallas Cowboys!!! I lived for those moments that never seemed to last long enough and it’s no wonder where I got my itch to fly 80 miles an hour downhill or to do 100 ft cliff jumps in my teens and 20’s…Many thanks for that!!
I remember when were growing up talking about things we dreamed of doing, places we wanted to go to…and while my dreams took me far away I’ll never forget when I came back from boarding school after 10th grade you telling me your dream of building a house down by the stream where you had spent previous summers camping out, you know that same stream I would cross at the bottom of the hill from your parents house whenever I would ride over from my house on my dirt bike, the same stream you ended up building your dream house on some 15 years later!! You did it man!! While I was still swinging for the fences in life, you did it and did it well, I might add! I only wish I could have been around a little more often.
Yours truly,
Christopher Quinn

To the entire Jones family- there are absolutely no words to express our deepest "shock-soaked" sympathy at the sudden and tragic loss of dearly beloved joe. Vivian and Jack, you are the most generous, caring and giving people anyone could ever know and there is no doubt that you have passed these precious qualities onto John and Joe. We will never forget what a loving, patient gentlemen Joe was with Kristin, including the time he frantically searched the kid's room for the book "If you give a pig a pancake" and immediately sat down to read it to Kristin several times and insisted that she take it home with her. Kristin still remembers the crown of flowers he made for her head one Easter sunday and stills "signs" in sign language that Joe would escort her around like a princess and carry her to the car after a fun filled day in the Poconos. We have all inherited a new angel to look down over us, one with an infectious smile and piercing blue eyes. May Jesus wrap his arms around all of Joe's family and friends and hold together our broken hearts. We are all truly blessed to have shared Joe's brief life God Bless you all-much love Theresa Mark and Kristin

Joe Jones: A loving father, trusted friend, amateur politician (haha)...words cannot begin to describe all of the things Joe was to so many people. We will miss you my friend. I have been blessed to know you, and I take with me everything you have ever taught me. My deepest sympathy goes out to the Jones' and everyone else who had the privelage of knowing and being close to you. Thank you for being such a loyal friend, you were more than anything I could ever ask.
In the blowing if the wind, and in the chill of the winter, we will remember you,
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of the summer, we will remember you,
When we are weary and in need of strength, we will remember you,
When we are lost and are sick of heart, we will remember you,
So long as we live, you too shall live, for now you are a part of us, as we remember you.
May God have Mercy on your soul, and may you live in eternal peace and harmony.
Joe this one is for you!
Na Zdrowie!
Amen

He always had a story to make you smile and in inner joy that radiated to all.We were treated like "family" and will forever regard him and his wonderful parents,Vivien and Jack, brother John and Karen and all the children as such. My love and compassion goes out to all that knew him, which was , to love him.

My heart is very heavy. Although I have not seen Joe in many years, I've thought of him often. He was a gentle soul with a kind heart and he was a good friend. I still have an outfit that he bought for me over 20+ years ago, that I chose to hold on to for all of these years. It was an act of kindness that he bought it for me in the first place,a real surprise. I guess that's why I still have it, a true reminder of friendship and kindness from someone who showed it often to everyone he loved and befriended. He lived a good life and I am so proud to have known him and to have been part of his life is some way. I have so many good memories of him, and I will cherish them always. My blessings and prayers go out to the entire family with the greatest compassion and sympathy. Lauren Thompson, NC

Our beloved amazing friend Joe, to say we will miss you would be an absolute understatement. Our lives will never be the same without you. What I would do for just one more "Atomic Doodles" text, or one more Pat's burger with you, or a game of pool, or to watch you and Joe fish with Speck right next to you both, or a Martini Wednesday, or one more dance on the John's Italian dance floor or just to hear you yell HELLO. We did so little without eachother. My heart is aching and we love you so much. And your amazing family...if I could take your pain, I would triple mine. You are 2nd family to Joe and me and we love you all with all our hearts can give. Rest in Peace Joe Jones..you will NEVER be forgotten.

I am at a loss for words. Joe touched so many people all thru his life. His smile would always light up the room and his sense of humor left a lasting impression on all that ever crossed his path. The memories of our youth will never go away and he lived his life to the fullest and inspired those around him. To all his family, know that he touched many and his memory will always be in our hearts. Thanks Joe, for allowing me to be honored in crossing your path and having those memories.
