Kenneth Jones

Kenneth R. Jones, 82, son of Ray and Mary Jones, sibling of Art, Mike and Carol, is now walking the gold streets of heaven. He lived a regular life, attended Santa Fe High School and served in the Air Force as a photographer in the Korean War and was stationed in Japan where he married Midori Kewano. They had two children, David and Evelyn. He lived in Santa Fe, Springer, Arizona and El Segundo, California where he owned a factory for his inventions. His company was one of the first in the US to import electronics from Japan and he established as excellent working relationship with Japanese companies. He invented and produced psychedelic lighting for dance clubs and many other things. His hobby was exploring for gold and he owned many gold claims in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Mexico but never developed them since he was busy with his inventions. Always inventive and interested in creating things he entertained us with his wit and charm. Thanks to the staff of Casa Rael and hospice who eased his life at the end, his friends Manuel Gonzales and Victoria and Londa who visited him faithfully and his brother Mike and sister Carol who loved and cared for him through all of his trials and triumphs. Services will be held at a later date when family and friends can be gathered together.
