Thomas C. Jones
 Thomas Carl Jones, 73 of Watson, went
Home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, May 19, 2023.
Tom was born in
Lowville on April 26, 1950 to Walter and Luella
McBain Greenfield Jones.
Tom is survived
by his loving wife and partner of eight and a half years, Ramona. Tom and
Ramona’s marriage gave them a blended family of several children and
grandchildren. “Titles” are unimportant when it comes to family. Tom is
survived by Naomie (Brian) LaChausse, along with
grandchildren, Daven Brigham (Meghan Shultz), Kearstin
(Jonathan) Rodriguez, great-granddaughter Lily Rodriguez, Justin Brigham,
Joshua (Zoie Lehman); Matt (Karen) Jones, along with grandchildren Matthew
and Tyler Jones; Samantha LePage, along with grandchildren Jamie and Kevin;
Casie (Ryan) Kolenda,
along with grandchildren Devin Runner, Kally
Runner and Mara Kolenda; Tanya Salmon Roy (Jim Goodenbery) along with grandchildren Kindrie Roy and Emma Roy.
Tom is also
survived by his siblings Edris Fox, Walter Jones Jr., aka “Junior”, Virgil
(Karen) Jones, Nancy Jones Rice, and Merritt (Misti) Jones. He is also
survived by many nieces and nephews.
He was
predeceased by his parents, and siblings Danny Greenfield, Mona Mooney,
Myrtle Jones, aka “Tootsie”, and Linda Jones.
Tom graduated
from Lowville Academy in 1968, receiving his welding certificate from
BOCES. He went on to work at NY Air Brake, AMF, owned and operated “The
Village Diner” in Croghan, eventually retiring from Community Bank after twenty four years of service as a courier. His
co-workers over the years at Community Bank held a special place in Tom’s
heart.
Tom was
passionate about cooking which he passed on to his daughter Naomie. He was
a lover of hunting, and fishing. Especially the
charter trips on Lake Ontario he and Ramona took, reeling in twenty pound catfish with Capt. Eric Scordo.
Tom also enjoyed woodworking, gardening and processing his own meats. He was a wonderful loving man to many though in
his younger years he was quite the rough and tumble kind of guy. He was
well known for his off the cuff sense of humor and
made any gathering a party. When Tom loved, he loved deeply, although he
was not always able to show it as he wished he could. He did his best. Tom
touched many people’s lives in a wonderful way and is loved beyond measure
by his wife, family and friends.
The entire family
would like to express their gratitude to the staff of the LCHS Residential
Health Care Facility on the 4th floor and his extended care plan team. Their
compassion and kindness were so appreciated.

will be held at Iseneker Funeral Home, Inc. on Sunday,
May 21, 2023 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. The funeral service will be held on
