I have fond memories of my Uncle Neil and the numerous cassettes of symphonic music he would give to my Mom. (I also remember his interest in photography… and his love of rather spicy jokes!

It’s the close of a chapter in my family’s Jones history.

I have memories of my Uncle Neil when he used to bring his sailboat to Lake Baptiste when he visited my mother Gwen in the summers. He loved music and enjoyed concerts and recordings. I am happy that I was able to visit Uncle Neil in the home where we recalled the old days when Mom was alive. The end of era – may he rest in peace.

I offer my condolences to Neil’s family.

To the family of Neil Jones, our sincere condolences at this sad time. We met Neil 36 years ago when we purchased our home at 327 William St in Exeter—the home he was born and raised in. We are still living in the same home. We appreciated his assistance when we bought the house

Although we didn’t know Neil, our Dad always spoke very highly of him and I know that they stayed in touch well after Neil’s father sold the business to our father in 1957. We offer our sincere condolences to everyone who knew and loved him.

We were sorry to hear of Uncle Neil’s passing and hope he is at peace. Aunt Marilyn was my Dad’s youngest sister, and now Neil can join the elder Nelsons ( Phyllis, Hugh, Bill and Marilyn ) at the “great picnic table “in the sky.
Sincerely Jill Aldridge… on behalf of Bruce and Hugh Nelson and our families. ( Hugh and Mary’s children )
