  1. I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Harold Wade Jones. Gods word the bible tells us we can gain comfort from our heavenly father, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of Gods kingdom. Local ministry volunteer

  2. I had the pleasure of being Mr. Harrys Sunday School Teacher for the last 10 years at Proctors Chapel Baptist Church where I quickly learned that he was a man of few words but when he spoke, you had better listen because he was going to give you nuggets of wisdom. He sat in a corner chair where he could keep an eye on this young upstart of a teacher! He knew how much I loved music and especially old hymns. Every time he went to a yard sale or an estate sale he would bring me back an old hymn book or music book. By the time he was through, I had a music book from every decade of the 1900s. I will forever cherish those books and the fond memories of our discussions about the songs in those books. He gave my husband and I a tour of his many treaures lovingly collected through the years. In October, as I was preparing for a hospital stay and surgery, he told me that he knew that my husband would take good care of me, but if he didnt, he and his sidekick Mr. Ervin Farmer would come and take care of me ! Mr. Harry, I thank God for placing you in my life. Your chair in the Bible Fellowship Class wil forever be yours & I will always walk in and look at that chair and think of you. To Mrs. Margaret and sons I express my deepest sympathy . Mr. Harry , I love you and miss you. God bless you and rest well in Heaven and I promise I will see you again one day, all because og Gods amazing grace. Love , Tonda Bradley

  3. Harry was a friend of mine for many decades. May our Lord bless and comfort you and your family during this time of grief. Please accept my sincere condolences.

  4. I am praying for the Jones family in this time of loss. My life changed with a chance encounter at a flea market in Wilson ….. I met Harry. I was carrying an old wooden tool box and Harry saw me. He said, you must collect tools. From that day on Harry and I were tool buddies. We went to flea markets, yard sales, auctions and to MWTCA tool meetings. He taught me to look close at tools, there could be a diamond in the rough. Be patient another one will come along. The art of the deal and the thrill and joy of the hunt. Harry showed me what a true friend is, and I am a better person for it. I will miss you Harry. Steven Bowen

  5. We have just learned of Harrys passing. So sad to hear this. I will always remember his mild manner and quiet humor. Thinking of you all and praying for the family. Randy and Wendy Gilbert
