Arthur "Doc" Joseph Jones (1928-2015)

All in the wild March morning I heard the angels call;

It was when the moon was setting and the dark was over all;

The trees began to whisper, and the wind began to roll,

And in the wild March morning I heard them call my soul.

-Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Arthur Joseph Jones decided on Tuesday December 29, 2015 that it was time to change his shoes and learn the dance that we all strive towards during our lifetime. He lived his life the way he wanted - with his eyes wide open. As "Doc," he taught and molded his students into individuals who learned to face life's foibles with confidence. As just dad, he raised three children with his wife Reda to be independent thinkers. While Art and his wife are dancing, he leaves his oldest son Steve Jones, his wife Jane and his two sons Nick and Mike; his daughter Christina Dodson, her husband Eli and their family Elizabeth and Amanda and Clint Jacques with their four children; his youngest son Mark Jones, his wife Renee and their children Grant and Lily. We the living are left with our youth and the thought from Randy Pausch, "we cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." Arthur "Doc" Jones will always remain dad to those who have had the grace to know him. It is not a goodbye, instead Au Revoir.
