John, Horatio C. Jones - Worcester County Messenger (6/12/2004) Horatio C. Jones, Jr. "Rash" Of Ocean Pine, MD and formerly of Chadds Ford, PA died peacefully on Sunday, June 6, 2004, in the company of his family and friends, in his home. Rash was born in Wilmington, DE on a 200-acre dairy farm. He was a descendent of the Swedes, who arrived in America in 1643. He was a commercial and residential builder, a stockbroker and a cemeterian, as well as a member of Ducks Unlimited, the Optimist Club and the Swedish Colonial Society. Rash never sat still, even in his spare time, as he enjoyed fishing, boating, golf, bowling, ice hockey, hunting and breeding Labradors for hunting. During the 1970s and '80s, Rash coached his son's ice hockey teams and taught his daughter to ice-skate. He never missed the opportunity to enjoy his children's games and ice shows. A talented and creative gourmet cook, Rash expanded his wife'' skills beyond toast and ice cubes; his children were grateful. His daughter, Christa, picked up his talents by assimilation; her mother and friends are grateful. As a man of great dignity and strength, his spirit lives on in those he touched. His laughter and wry sense of humor are the knowing smiles that color the faces of those who knew and loved him. Thoughts of sadness easily turn to those of good times and to honoring the wishes of an admirable man, who drifted away to promises that his death would mark a celebration of a life lived to its fullest. Horatio C. Jones left a serene sense of peace in those who carry on with him in their hearts. He was the beloved husband of Lydia M. Jones; and the devoted father of Horatio C. Jones, III, MD of Boothwyn, PA and Christa M. Jones of Norfolk, VA. Other survivors include "DIL" Suzanne A. Jones; grandchildren, Michael C. and Lauren A. Jones; a niece and grandniece, Nickie and Alex; and a host of treasured friends who were as family to him. The service and interment will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, PO Box 3687, Ocean City, MD 21842. Arrangements are being handled by the BURBAGE FUNERAL HOME, Berlin, MD [published 06/12/2004] Same obituary in Maryland Times-Press (6/12/2004) and Somerset Herald (6/13/2004) Bruce At 09:02 AM 6/29/2004, [email protected] wrote: >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Classification: Obituary > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SFB.2ACI/4216 > >Message Board Post: > >Hi. > >A one Horatio Jones of Berlin MD passed away recently (last month or so), >but I am unable to find the details of his death.
