Susan (Willis) Marles I was sad to see that Tut passed away recently. Tut called to express his sympathy after my Dad died (1986) but we didn’t meet again, a lost opportunity. I do wish I knew how to contact Susan, Evan and Grant personally. Michael and I have such great family memories growing up together with “the Jones’ kids”. I especially remember the informal coaching Tut gave me in my tennis game. I have many other memories of those days, but especially remember the joint family fishing trips to the cabin at Sahtlam riverbottom. I will be thinking of you all when you announce your “celebration of his well-lived life”. Love to you all.

Michael Grant I remember fondly, as a young person, the friendship between my father, George F Grant and my mother Peggy with Tut Jones. He was always a larger-than-life figure for our family and was always welcomed in our home on the many times he was able to visit ; always agreeable, always pleasant and always fun to be around. My mother joins me in extending our condolences to the family.
