Uncle Elliott Jones

This morning we lost our family centurion Uncle Elliott Jones. This photo was taken on Saturday December 2 as he was preparing for the annual Callahan Christmas Parade. This year, he was chosen as the Honorary Grand Marshall. It was questionable whether he would be strong enough to ride this year, however he was determined to do it. Uncle Elliott was a very proud Navy veteran of WWII, and as with today being Pearl Harbor day, he will forever be remembered. I will forever cherish the memories of the time Mary and I have spent with Uncle Elliott and his family. Our love and condolences to his children Danny, Debbie, Scott, his grandchildren and the rest of the family.
