Lawrence W. Jones (Hermie), 69 of Whitehall N.Y., passed away unexpectedly in Lafayette, CO. on Monday, September 27, 2021.

He was born on March 27th, 1952 in Granville N.Y., the son of the late Lawrence H. and Mable I. (Ablett) Jones.

He was a graduate of Whitehall High School.

Hermie lived a full and colorful life, if you knew him then you knew all of his stories he had to tell. He loved like no other and always had a joke, or hilarious one liner to make you laugh. You knew he loved you if these jokes or his one liners were directed toward you. His quirky personality will be missed by many and will forever live on by all the lives he touched.

Hermie was a very passionate person, he showed this through his many hobbies. He spent many years oil painting, making jewelry, and putting everything he had into building and designing his custom motorcycles with his Son.

His biggest passions were his children, Gregg Jones, (Colorado Springs, CO.), Jerrick Jones, (Whitehall, N.Y.), Allison Jones and her husband Nathaniel Persons (Lafayette, CO.) and his four grandchildren, Chuan Reyes, Lyla Jones, Ryder and Frances Persons.  Aside from his children and grandchildren, he is survived by his two sisters Linda Chaplin, and Lisa Rozell, along with many nieces, nephews and friends.

Graveside services will be held at 11:00am on Thursday, October 7th, 2021 at our Lady of Angels Cemetery, Whitehall.  A celebration of life will be held at Big G's on Main Street in Whitehall following the graveside services.
