Thank you both so much for your kind emails that you sent in November after my Dad's passing. Don, I really enjoyed reading the facebook responses and tried to join a few of the groups in order to read some comments that were posted later, but was unsuccessful. I did feel like I grew up in Lisle, with all of the time I spent at the High School hanging out with my Dad selling tickets at basketball games & musicals, playing in his office while he was working and later as I got older I was timing at track invitationals and I was a Supervisor at the Eyes to the Skies Balloon Festival...my little brother was the lion mascot with the high school cheerleaders - I could go on & on :) Anyway, Lisle has a special place in my heart and I've been driving by quite a bit lately on my way to visit my Mom.

Sad day for me. Goodbye Mr. Jones, my favorite teacher at LCHS. You brought a ton of smiles and laughter to us in high school. I will never forget you. May you RIP.
I had Mr. Jones for two classes back at LCHS in the 60's. He was more than a teacher to me, but we became friends for years after. He even attended at least one of our Class of 1966 reunions, and he mixed with us so well, that it made the reunion most memorable. I will miss Mr. Jones, and may he Rest In Peace. My deepest condolences to his family.
Roland Jenkins
We lost a great man and one cool teacher!😥I was in the first class he taught at LCHS!

Stephen Ferrin
He was one of the teachers who inspired me to go into teaching. RSP Mr. JONES. God bless.
Doug Mills
So sad to read this. As a member of the golf team for 4 years I really liked Mr. Jones. He was a great coach and an even better person. The situations certain team members put him in were tough & embarrassing to say the least. But Mr. Jones handled them all professionally. The away meets to Dwight, Minooka & Wilmington were always an adventure with everyone packed into the old blue Chevy van. R.I.P. Bob and thank you for all you did. Fore…

Mr. Jones was a favorite of our entire class of 1964. So sorry to hear of his passing. It was so great to see him at the celebration of the football championship.
William Cinert
Mr. Jones was the best teacher I had in highschool. My 3 daughters got to know Mr Jones too. He was their track coach when they were in highschool. I got to spend more years knowing him after highschool. He had a long productive life serving the education system. Very sad day to hear of his passing. Many classes of LCHS will never forget him.

I watched him hit a hole in one at Western acres I was standing on the fringe when he nailed it we won a somewhat controversial freshman golf conference championship in 89
we were a wild Bunch but he really knew the game and he really cared about us the bus rides home from away matches where we would systematically all lower the windows down at the same time to attempt to blow his hair around
rest easy, mr jones

I just heard Mr. Jones died, he taught bookkeeping and always collected tickets at sporting events when Laura and I were there. Not sure when he retired.
Jolene Kremer
An encounter with Mr. Jones is one of my favorite 'small world' stories. About 15 years ago, I spent most of a day riding around in a golf cart with a man whose nametag said 'Bob' at Orchard Valley Golf Course when I was interviewing participants/taking pictures during the Golf for Kids outing for the Fox Valley Park District. Our conversation eventually wound around to what did he do before he retired? He said he was a teacher. I asked where. He replied Lisle High School. I looked at him and realized who he was and said 'Mr. Jones?!' He looked at me and said 'Jolene Westendorf?!' The thing was... I never had him as a teacher! But he remembered me (Class of 1976) 35 years after I graduated!
Dianne Sanders Schroll
