Thomas was teased by several people and he would clap back very well! "Food is my weakness", especially, Billy's boudin! He loved going to the Claver Lodge to be with his fellow Knights, who entrusted him to work the bar, as he was not a drinker. Rest In Peace.

Andrea Brisco

To the family of Mr. Jones,

You have my deepest sympathy during this difficult time. Mr. Jones was a dear friend, and I always enjoyed our chats from my time working at Chicken King. He loved his salads and took great joy in his walks—he truly embraced life. He was always so well-dressed and carried himself with such grace. He will be remembered

Thomas Jones grew up next door to our grandparents in Opelousas on Perry Lane. He was a true friend to our family and the epitome of the definition of neighbor. May he rest in the arms of the angels. May the love of God and the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ bless him and console his family R.I.P.
