Sign in to add a tributeHaving moved away from Marston many years ago I only get news via the Oxford Mail or my sister, Kate.
As children my brothers and I were very friendly with the Jones boys.
We had great fun birds nesting, fishing, collecting fag packets, camping and swimming at the "Duck Pond" or Hinksey Lakes. We lived during a time where we could experience things that kids today can only dream about.
I will never forget the great respect Des showed to our family when in 1986 he attended my Mum's funeral, a real class act.
Sincere condolences to Family and Friends.
Rest In Peace Des.
