Harold W. Jones Jr.
July 21, 1930 — February 20, 2022
Harold W. Jones, Jr., 91, passed away peacefully on February 20th, 2022 at the Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Hoosick Falls. Born July 21st, 1930 on the family farm in Berlin, NY, he was the son of the late Harold W. Jones, Sr. and Nora A. (Brown) Jones.
Harold and Eva F. Hurley married on February 10th, 1951 St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Bennington, VT. They were married for 66 years when Eva passed on October 4th, 2017. He attended Berlin Schools. He worked for W. J. Cowee, Ben Mont Papers, and Eddington Chevrolet-Cadillac in Bennington. In 1963, he and Eva went into business, operating H.W. Jones Garage in Petersburgh together for 40 years. He was a gifted mechanic and an honest man, going the extra mile to help his customers.
Harold had an enduring love for his family, always working to provide for them. His love and approval was evident in all that he did. There were good times spent swimming at Hapgood Pond and vacationing at Hampton Beach. In later years, he and Eva traveled around the country, spending their 50th wedding anniversary in Hawaii. Anyone who knew Harold soon realized that he loved animals, especially cats. Some came to him looking for a good home, and some he rescued while he was driving along back roads.
Harold is survived by his loving children; Gloria Jean (Alan) Adams, Gayle Ann (Victor) Corbisiero, and Donald Walker Jones. He was dearly loved by his grandchildren; Holly, Nathan, and Cara Adams, Colleen Scott, Naomi King, Joshua Corbisiero, and Amanda Lane. He had 9 great grandchildren; Chad, Matthew, Zachary, Noah, Emily, Eva, Paxton, Sophia, and Coraline. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
Harold was predeceased by his sisters; Agnes Stanley, Ruth Wager, Dorothy Stewart, and his brothers; George, Howard, and Aliric (Mike) Jones. He is survived by sisters-in-law Katherine Krawszyk, Viola Burgess, Ruby Kinney, Nancy Flanders, and brother-in-law, Jerod Sanders. He was predeceased by his mother-in-law, Cora Hurley Sanders, brother-in-law, Frank Hurley, and sisters-in-law; Ruth Gratton and Sally Pacher.
