Hi family of Tom Jones. I got to know him at the Post Office. I enjoyed his banter so much I would make special trips to the Post Office just to see him. I called him Jonesy and he called me Smitty. Hopefully heaven can handle his presence. I’m 93 years old. If any family member would like to contact me my cell phone is 260 580-9860. Thank you and God bless.
So very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Tom was always such a happy, cheerful man! Loved to hear about the stories he would share. He will be missed. Blessings Jerry and Linda
Dad – you were such a great dad and inspiration to me. I will miss your corny jokes and unconditional love. I’m so happy that mom and Stephen were there to greet you in Heaven. Heaven sure has another great angel! I love you with all my heart and will miss you dearly! Love, Annita

I am so happy we were able to reconnect. Tom was one of a kind…in so many ways.
I had the pleasure of working with Tom throughout my career at the USPS. He was so full of life and laughter, and he spread his positive outlook on life to everyone he met. He truly will be missed. Now yhecLord gets to enjoy his infectious laughter. Peace to his family.
