It is with great sadness that the family of Jay Gerald Jones of Lancaster, Texas announces his passing after a long battle with cancer, on April 20, 2007 at the age of 64 years.

Just recently he received the 2 million Mile Safe Driving Award with Lasco Bathwares where he worked for the last 22 years. One of his proudest moments of his career was being asked to participate in the movement of the original casting of the Iwo Jima Memorial Sculpture from Rhode Island to the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas.`
