Mr Jones, Arden just won't be the same without you! It is amazing how many people respect you and will miss you.. my dad was telling me that you used to teach him at tudor grange and would always buy eccles cakes for everyone! I feel lucky to have met such a lovely and thoughtful man! Thank you for everything!! Lots of love, 'little runner' xxxx R.I.P

sir, you were a complete legend! you always made everyone smile and you will be really missed by everyone at arden. i remember when i was in year 7 and you were our supply in english, you fell asleep and we were teaching you loads of chavy words. YOUR A COMPLETE LEGEND SIR! R.I.P xxxx

Mr Jones taught me at Tudor Grange in the seventies! He took a group of us to Paris for the day! He then took another group to France. 2 weeks and 2,000 miles later we'd had the holiday of a lifetime. I was one of the lucky 2 to go with him to see Jacques Cousteau's HQ at Bandol. We recently discussed those happy times. He was a star that shone brightly into our lives. He gave so much to so many people. God bless you Mr Jones.

You always helped me and were nice to me . you were one of the nicest people i have ever met . you will be missed R.I.P you legend.

Walking into the lost property room after the awards ceremony last year to find him at his desk, by himself. My mum asked 'Are you ok on your own?' and he said 'Yes of course' Arden will never forget you Mr Jones xxx

Thank you for helping me decide on what options i was going to pick. I never did get to tell you what i chose in the end. I chose History,ICT, Business Studies and I don't regret it. Thank you for helping me come to my final decision. Thank you for never failing to put a smile on my face. Thank you sir for giving me a nickname 'twinses' Thank you sir for being there for others. It was a honor helping you work and sort out things. Thank you Sir............. You will never be forgotten

I remember when i always used to do that fist to fist thing to you R.I.P

Mr Jones, you will be HUGELY missed by everyone. Truly inspirational, selfless, caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable, helpful and the list goes on. You were always there at every single event ever held at Arden, helping and assisting everyone with a smile; parent's evenings bringing us food and drinks when helping, school productions, open evenings, charity days and of course always offering a helping hand around school. Also, thank you so much for coming along to the West Midlands Youth Ballet and showing your support over the years; you were always to interested in what pupils were involved in, and showed your support. Your charity work was outstanding and selfless, every year working at the homeless shelter all over the Christmas period, and also assisting many other charities. From the bottom of mine, and many other people's hearts, thank you so much for everything you have done; you have inspired so many people and touched so many lives. Rest in peace Roy Jones, you will be sadly missed and definitely NEVER forgotten xxxx

you will be sadly missed by everyone at arden and everyone that ever knew you. you were always there to help anyone that needed it. thanks for everything

Mr Jones had a beautiful personality, the way he would just walk up to anyone and start a conversation. He was hilarious when he did a safe fist bump. he would fall asleep in lessons and make us all laugh! My best memories of him are when he helped me find my things over and over again. Also in year seven I got really upset because the lunch staff wouldn't let me have lunch, because I had no money on my card and, Mr Jones being the gentleman that he was bought my lunch, and made me laugh putting a big smile on my face. The next day when I came to pay him back he wouldn't have any of it. Roy Jones never failed to put a smile on anyone's face and may he rest in peace.

sir you are the teacher who had the biggest impact on my time at arden school you will be missed may you rest in peace j x

Mr Jones, I remember when I was inyear 7 and I didn't go to Germany and you gave me a keyring that you kept from your last visit :) and everytime it was your birthday you would save me a piece of cake. Thank you for You will be truly missed. Rest In Peace. x

A man who would always have a smile on his face no matter what the situation. Someone who would always have a positive spirit. A man who will be sadly missed by everyone! Someone who retired but then still supported the school. Thank you Mr Jones for being such a key part of Arden school, You will be truly missed by everyone!

Mr Jones, You were an amazing addition to Arden and you were always helping out. You dedicated alot of your time and effort to Arden school and it's guaranteed you won't be forgotten! R.I.P

Mr Jones you were the BEST teacher ever and I will always remember helping you out with lost property and how whenever you saw me you always asked how I was and if I was ok and even though you had retired you still came in to help at parents evening and on Red Nose Day. You will be truly missed by everyone may you rest in peace xxxx

When you used to always say that I was the best jones around, but really that was you! r.i.p x

Mr Jones, one of the nicest people belonging to Arden and always will be. A man who would never fail to come say hello, whilst trying to embarrass you with all his silly nicknames and personal jokes. Sir you will be forever missed, and Arden will never be the same without you, thank you for putting a smile on my face on the odd occasion and may you rest in peace xxxx

you where amazing, you helped everyone, even if there problem was too big you would still help. You always seemed to have a smile on your face and used to cheer up everyone that you walked past. We will always miss you and no one can replace you.

The best teacher ever and always helpful at parents evenings and helped me lots with german.

legend u wil always be remembered... r.i.p <3 xxx

He was such a nice man and helped everyone with their problems. I am sure he will have gone to heaven if there is such a place. He will be dearly missed by all. Rest In Peace Roy Jones xxx :)

Cannot believe Mr Jones won't be strolling round Arden, doing odd jobs for everyone and helping out anyone who comes his way! I don't think there's a heart Roy didn't touch, or a smile that didn't appear on the faces of the people he spoke to. He was genuinely the most inspirational and amazing person i have ever and will ever meet. Sir you have made Arden what it is today, and I will miss the random chats on the field, and your last minute tips when you catch my running to my language exams! You are a credit to Arden School, and I think everyone will agree when I say Arden will never be the same without you! Sir you really were the most increadable person I have ever and will ever meet, rest in peace♥

Always happy whenever I saw him around school and will be dearly missed by everyone at Arden !!!!! Rest In Peace Sir

I'll miss you mr. jones, you'll always be in out hearts at arden and i think i speak for everyone who knows you when i say that we'll never forget you and speak of you in a great light for years to come :) 'The Mrs' i have to say will miss you too :( we'll miss the bubbly attitude of yours around school and definately the help you give every hour of the day you're a wonderful man <3 xxx
