Edgar Jones passed away peacfully on the 26 October. Our condolances to Ann, Marie, Carolyn, Chris and the rest of the family. Thinking of you in this sad time x
Sad to hear about Eddie, A big star on the stage of the Little Theatre back in the day.... thoughts and prayers with the Jones Clan.....
Sad news , another part of our history gone ,, he and Nina songbirds of note and very active in the Oranjemund theatrical society ,, rest in peace Edgar and enjoy singing duets with Nina again ,,
A bit of humour , When I worked a 4 plant with John Wallace , we had a nickname for Eddie Jones ,, black dog ..that was because he would mostly arrive at work in a black suit and then change into overalls ,, old school of note ,
My condolances to the Jones family,thats another old stalward I knew very well. I always remember the Moth Barbershop Quartet ,Eddie Jones,Roy Fields,Vic Keyes,Bill Slier. They were very talanted and always good for a laugh. They are a dying breed unfortunatly. I am deeply saddened by his passing.
I knew Eddie well in the old days of HMS. He was an enjoyable character, always good for a laugh, forever singing, humming or whistling.
Does anyone have any information on the age of his death and where?

Bob, he was close to 80 and passed in Durban where he lived after leaving O'mund
Thanks Julie,
Nice to get some more background on Eddie's passing. He was one of the great characters of his era.

Marie and Carolyn returned to the U.K yesterday.
My condelences to the Jones family. Remember some of them well. Anne was in class with me in 74 with Mrs. Coffin. And I remember Eddy singing "I did it my way" as if it was yesterday. Very nice person he was.
