Graveside services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Friday, January 22, 2021 in the LaSalle Cemetery. Visitation with the family will be 6-8 p.m., Thursday, at Blair-Stubbs Funeral Home. Hans was born November 23, 1941 in Dallas, Texas to Hermann Edward Jones, Sr. and Willie Belle Durham Jones, the oldest of four boys. He has lived in the Limestone County area for almost 35 years. He was a self-employed truck driver and worked for various companies. He was also the owner of H & B Cattle Company Hans loved the country and especially enjoyed raising cattle on his ranchette in Lost Prairie. He had recently begun building a big barn on his land. He also enjoyed buying and collecting old cars. He was a big fan of Rock & Roll and in his younger days, Hans managed a Rock band that toured throughout Texas and Oklahoma. There were even times when he would take his younger brother, Ronald, on some of the tours. In some of his spare time he liked to get out his base guitar and do a little pick’n and grin’n of his own. Hans was outgoing and made friends easily but there was one thing for sure, he vowed he would never be a married man, he enjoyed the single life too much. He was preceded in death by his parents, Hermann and Belle Jones; and brother, Joseph Siddons. Hans is survived by two brothers, Ronald Cox of Fate, TX and James Siddons of Lynchburg VA; two daughters, Meagan England of Spraytown, IN and Meranda Medina Harp of Anna, TX; and two grandsons, James Michael Simpson of Tyler, TX and Shooter W.

I discovered last week that we lost another of our classmates, Hans Reicher, in January of this year.
When he went to school with us, he was known as Eddie Jones but changed his name to Hans Reicher reflecting both ancestral names and his German heritage.
Hans (Eddie) was a member of our class through the 9th grade. He went to school in the 6th & 7th grade in FB, then the 8th and part of the 9th before he dropped out.
He and his family lived two doors down from me during that time.
While he wasn’t part of the Senior Class of ’61 since he dropped out, (as Tom Redding did), I feel his obit should be listed with other members of the Class of ’61.
Additionally, he attended our 40th & 45th reunions.
