The summer vacations from North Carolina to Pennsylvania will be a memory forever in my heart. My memories of Uncle Noots and Aunt Dot are some of my childhood's most valuable. Both of my grandparents, Hobert & Sarah Charlotte [Eachus] Jones, thought the world of them. And, I know they both would love to be there in person to be with our extended family in Pennsylvania. Because of health reasons, they are unable, but make no mistake they are with you in person.

We send our love and our prayers as we mourn Uncle Noot's passing... but we join with you in remembering a life long lived. Uncle Noots, Aunt Dot and Gloria are now together and we know they're looking down on us awaiting our arrival.

Sending our love!

Brandon (McAllen, TX)

Rocky was a wonderful man. My sincere condolences go to the family. I will miss his caring way and easy going smile. While I only knew him for a few years, he made such a great impression on me as a gentle man with a kind heart. He will certainly be missed. Will see you later Rocky! May God bless the family during this time.
