It is with great sadness that we announce his peaceful passing on February 25, 2024 at the age of 83 after a 7 year battle with multiple myeloma. Beloved husband and soulmate of JoAnne Jones (nee Cadarette) with whom he celebrated 64 years of marriage. Loving father of Larry (Tammy) Jones, Wayne (Ada) Jones, Karen Jones (late John, 1996), and Jeff Jones. Very proud Papa of Heather (Mitja) Schnackenberg, Nathan (Bryer) Jones, Jenni (Paul) Carter, Melissa (John) Vangameren, Melanie (Steve) Joves, Nick (Natalia) Jones, Jay Jones and Isabelle Jones. Great Pop of 9 great grandchildren whom he adored even when they drove him crazy running around. Dearest brother of Lonnie (Shona) Jones, Carolyn (late Donald, 2023) Dufour, Phil (Denise) Jones, Jean (Marshall) Voligny, and Joanne (Jim) Shaw. Brother-in-law of Ron (Pat) Cadarette, the late Alice (2020) (Gene) Chikaz, Ernie (Gloria) Cadarette, and Marcella (Jim) Best. He will also be missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Larry retired from Chrysler after 30 years of service. He enjoyed golfing, hockey, baseball, woodworking, and watching his family grow and enjoy their lives. As a devoted Papa, he never missed his grandkids’ sporting events where he could be found cheering them on. Larry also loved working around the house and yard, always keeping busy. He would help his children and grandchildren with odd jobs whenever needed. JoAnne and Larry loved staying active by walking and bike riding together. They also enjoyed their time spent in Florida over the years. In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Hospice of Windsor would be greatly appreciated by the family.
