My deepest sympathies to you all. Your Dad was a wonderful man and I so enjoyed my time in your house as a child! Later when I would visit from Yarmouth, I looked forward to the joy and silliness I knew your parents would bestow on me - from wet dish cloth to dictionary games to tea & toast in bed for two little girls who could've gotten it themselves!! I always felt so welcome and the love in the home was apparent. May you take comfort in your memories and each other. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Polly

Ken and family, so sorry for your loss, but I must say that I am so pleased that your father passed on the sense of humour that your own friends now enjoy, from you. The obituary told quite a story. Enjoy your private time celebrating your father's life, and please make sure that his, and your, wit and humour is passed on. Take care.

My heart is saddened by the passing of this wonderful man but happy knowing that I had the honour of knowing him. Many years ago he was my instructor for non traditional training for single mothers at the Cornwallis Inn in Kentville. Tom encouraged us every day and every day told us we could do anything we put our minds to. He listened to our stories of hardships and battles with a sincere heart. I never knew he was a hero of war. Now that I have read his wonderful tribute I feel like I was blessed. May the wonderful memories you keep tucked close to your heart bring you comfort.

Dear Kate and family... Please accept my deepest sympathy at Tom's passing. I have many memories of him (especially the time we broke the line on the TV aerial during a game of Hide & Seek and not even ten minutes after being warned by Tom to stay off the flat part of the roof). My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you travel this difficult journey. With sincere sympathy, Craig Faulkner

So sorry for your loss. Your Dad sounds like he was an amazing guy, someone to be so proud of and fortunate to have had as part of your lives. I now see where you get your great sense of humour. My thoughts are with you and your family.

This message is for the family of Mr. Tom Jones. Im an avid reader of obituaries all my life. I live im Moncton and read the Halifax paper everyday to see if I know someone or a relative of anyone who has passed away. Mostly I enjoy reading about the history of these family's and what type of person they were. Even though I have read so many of them in my life , none has ever made me want to send you this letter until I read this one.and I will tell you why. This was written about a man who I felt was truly a wonderful person. Who loved life his family and his friends with the most passion I have ever been privileged to have read. The best part was his humor which I appreciated so much it made me laugh to know just what type of man he was. He accomplished so much in his life. Sacrificed so much for his family and children to become the man he had become. And without knowing him I feel I do know him and what he has given to others not only his family but everyone who had the honor of being in his life. I sure don't have you tell u how lucky you are to have been a part of such a wonderful family. Its heartwarming to know there are such beautiful people in this world. And you the Jones family have been truly blessed with having such a patriarch in your family. Someone who was loved and loved u all so much in return. It makes me feel so proud and heartwarming that people like you do really exist in this world. You can honestly say from the bottom of your hearts....I have no regrets in life.continue his beautiful legacy and know he has effected my life in a big way and I haven't even had the pleasure of knowing him. My sympathy for you and your family is genuine and real. I know I do t even have to say this but I will. You were all truly blessed to have had him in your life. Maybe someday u can teach me and my children to have a game of Dark beetle♥

When I think back over our friendship...that began 40+ years ago while we were in elementary school... there are few parents of my friends that have had such an impact on me. Your home was a home of safety and love. I had the privilege of attending Christmas open houses and summer backyard BBQ's and always felt completely welcomed. The time I had recently with your parents remaking their bedroom was a wonderful time to reconnect. I so enjoyed your father, his keen understanding and desire for detail, checking up on me and asking questions..that somehow felt like a test and my answer would determine if I passed...which I would always know by the smile on his face. He showed so much love for your Mother, including her in the decisions and making her feel part of it. The love he shared with us all has made the world a better place. Cathy

Wonderful obituary for a wonderful person. This brings back warm memories of the best summer of my childhood, spent with my cousins and my favourite uncle and aunt. I learned the kitchen faucet trick that summer, and proudly used it at home when I returned at the end of the summer. Not sure my Dad ever forgave Tom for that one. Please add "wonderful uncle" to the long list of well-deserved distinctions. I will miss his warmth and great sense of humour. -Paul

His laugh...thats what I remember most. Deep, melodious and so heartfelt. Eyes that sparkled with life and fun. When I look at pictures of my Mom I see the same eyes, the same zest. They were " kindred spirits" and siblings. Sending love, prayers and hope to you all. He will be truly missed. I just wished they made those damm sink spayers in black still. Stainless steel just doesn't work as well!!! Rest well Uncle Tom!!!

Tom Jones was for several years the Regional Rep for the NS Division of Adult Education. He later served as the Division's Director. During the early 1960s, I had the great pleasure of working with Tom and other adult educators who set my "educational course" for life. I consider myself very fortunate indeed, as a young woman in my 20s, to have had the opportunity to teach and learn alongside Tom Jones. My deepest sympathy goes out to Joan and her six sons and daughters of this great man. Yes, his laughter will always be in my memory. I would love to touch base with one of the "children" in order to share a tape I have of my last conversation with Tom (part of a research project, circa 1993). Carol
