Bob Jones. He is survived by his brother Don Jones,

daughter, Susan Zorich, son Dan Jones and son, Rick

Jones. He had three grandchildren, Lauren Hurst, Nicole

Dick was always fun loving. He learned a love of the

Sierras on fishing trips with his Dad and brothers as a

youngster. He liked sailing, watercolor painting and

sometimes, golf. Dick and his older brothers made

several trips to Catalina on the family boat in the past

few years. All of them good fishermen and boatmen.
