Re: Rally Wallace Jones
It was with great sadness that I heard this morning that Rally had left us.
He was one of life's gentlemen and was always willing to help with a big smile.
For Sandra and the family both Shirley and I wish to pass on our sincere condolences and I know I write with the same sentiments on behalf of all members of the Aberystwyth Branch RWFCA.
Rest in peace until we meet again on that great parade ground above.
Paul Hinge
Hon. Secretary
Aberystwyth Branch RWFCA

Re: Rally Wallace Jones
Rally and I worked together at Hightown Bks for 15 years, until his retirement in September 2008. I have also been in regular contact with him and his family after he retired and particularly over the past 6 weeks or so, since his diagnosis.
During the time we worked together I obviously got to know Rally extremely well and considered him to be, not only a work colleague, but a good friend! I visited Rally on two separate occasions last week (Monday and Wednesday) and felt humbled by the courage he displayed in the face of this terrible disease. It is true to say that Rally was a remarkable man, and that we are all poorer for this sad loss, he will be sorely missed.
My thoughts and that of my family are with Sandy, Paul, Karen, Stuart and the Grandchildren at this difficult time. I will ensure that all the heart felt kind words of the members are passed on to the family, I'm sure they will be greatly appreciated and help lift their spirits.
God Bless you Rally,
Jim.

Re: Rally Wallace Jones
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all your kind thoughts and messages at what can only be described as the hardest thing that my mum Sandy, my brother Paul, myself, my husband Stuart and my children have ever had to endure. I know how much my father was loved by all of his family, but to receive your kind words of comfort only reiterates how much he was respected and thought of by others.
Good night pops, sleep well xxxxxxxxxxx

Re: Rally Wallace Jones
Oh Dear,
Another of my old pals taken far too soon, I wasn't even aware that he was ill.
Rally and I joined the Bn at Iserlohn within a few weeks of each other in mid 1963, he was Jones 44 then!
We both attended JNCO Cadres respectively and Rally excelled on his Cadre by coming top and being promoted to full Cpl as a result. Indeed, he was considered at the time to be a high calibre soldier with an abundance of potential and he certainly lived up to all expectations.
My wife and I offer our deapest condolences to Rally's family.
RIP old pal!

Re: Rally Wallace Jones
I knew Rally for only three years from his time working in Hightown. A true gentleman. Absoloutely gutted to learn of his passing. I too spent hours in his company happily chatting away. And having read earlier messages many others have had the same pleasure. Condolences to the family. God bless you Rally.
