Jones, 75, of Ormond Beach, Fla., passed away peacefully Thursday, June 8, 2011, at Shand's Medical Center at the University of Florida in Gainesville, with his family at his side. Bob was born March 5, 1936 on River Street in Bartlett, the son of the Robert J. and Arline (Bergeron) Jones, also of Bartlett. Bob graduated from Fryeburg Academy in 1956 and loved being a Raider. He excelled in sports — on both the basketball court and in track and field. He scored the first basket ever in the famed Gibson Gym. In track, Bob set several school records and also set the record for most points scored by an individual in an Oxford County track meet. He was recently elected to the academy's Hall of Excellence for his athletic accomplishments, and he will be inducted posthumously in October. Upon graduation from Fryeburg Academy, Bob accepted a track scholarship to the University of Illinois. Once there he learned that the school had too many athletes and not enough scholarships. Due to the unluck of the draw, Bob's college experience ended all too abruptly. That led to another career path with a brief stop in Memphis, Tenn. where he worked at Wonderbread with Elvis. Yes, that Elvis! Nine months later Bob joined the U.S. Air Force where he proudly served his country, working as a fireman until his retirement in 1978 when he returned home to what he fondly called "God's country" — Bartlett. A staunch believer in community service, Bob was the town fire chief for a number of years and also served on the town's conservation commission and planning board. The photo at left is Bob in the winter of 1983 at the Red Carpet Ski Shop at Attitash where he worked for one winter with his brother Dick (Richard) Jones. Bob was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in 1982 and received a heart transplant in 1984. He was the first patient in the world to be put on the now popular cyclosporine anti-rejection drug. Until his passing Bob was the second longest surviving heart transplant in the United States. He was frequently asked to speak to patients waiting for transplants on what to prepare for and the importance of a positive attitude. Bob will be remembered for his wit, love of a joke and a good story. He started many a story with, "Did you hear the one about?" Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 49 years, Elizabeth (Tarner) Jones, of Ormond Beach; their two children, daughter Arlene and her husband, Bryan Samartino, of Ormond Beach; a son, Lloyd and his wife, Lynn, of Bartlett; a grandson, Anthony Samartino, of Ormond Beach; and his brother and sister, Richard Jones and Lorraine Jones, both of Bartlett. There will be no calling hours or memorial service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider becoming organ donors. Richard A. Jones, of Bartlett, died peacefully on Feb. 9, 2015. He was born on Aug. 26, 1940 in North Conway, N.H. and was a lifelong resident of Bartlett, which he fondly called "the center of his world" over the years. He graduated from Fryeburg Academy and went on to Becker College in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he earned a degree in retailing. Richard is remembered as a director, stockholder and ski shop owner of the Red Carpet Ski Shop at Attitash from the time it opened in 1966 until 1994. He later opened Heavens Ski Shop in Glen and ran it until his retirement. He traveled extensively and had countless friends all around the world. He was an avid story-teller and knew how to entertain an audience. He was a man who would share freely of his time, advice and experience. He regarded his longtime ski shop employees as friends. He was a generous employer and always said if the ski shop does well, so will you. He was true to his word. At the end of each season he would take the entire ski shop crew to far-away places, including Russia, South America and Mexico, a different adventure every year. The following self-written obituary was found among his papers: "Richard A. Jones of Bartlett, N.H., departed this earth for another great adventure. As he lived life to the fullest it is hoped that those of you who are left behind will endure without him. "What made him happy? Friends, traveling, dining, charity, partying and most of all free shows nature provided daily. He was an avid collector but always said his greatest collection was his friends around the world. "Fryeburg Academy was always on his mind. He graduated from this school in 1958; four years as a boarding student. The Academy gets an A plus for all its efforts for him. "Though he has a small family left he never married. His grandmother, Stella, was the family support which was rich and joyous. "He had half a dozen small businesses over the years, the longest was the ski shop at Attitash. He always said, money is only as good as what it can do for you. The ideal life is to spend your last dime as a prince, not a pauper. To die broke means you won, no one takes it to the end. "I like to think I was a man of all seasons. You see, I wrote this obituary. Keep laughing, do good deeds and most of all, have fun. Just when you start to think you have it all it starts to slip away. P.S., what did I die from? My heart stopped beating." Richard is predeceased by his father, Robert and mother, Arline, and his brother, Robert L. Jones. He is survived by his sister, Lorraine Jones of Bartlett, along with several nephews and nieces. In honor of Richard's request, there will be no funeral, however, a party for his friends, in the style he was accustomed to, will be announced at a later date. Lorraine Jones of Bartlett, N.H., passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Friday, Feb. 4, 2022. She was born at North Conway’s Memorial Hospital to Robert and Alaina B. Jones.

Maggie grew up in Glen, N.H., and she graduated from Bartlett High School. She was the co-captain of the basketball team. Graduated from Barrington College in Rhode Island with a teaching degree. Margaret taught first grade for 34 years in Rochester, N.H. She and her husband Richard raised three boys. Predeceased by her husband,parents, Ivan and Myrtle Taylor, sister Carolyn and her brother Fred. Survived by her three sons, Damon and wife, Staci; Daniel and wife, Naoko; David and wife, Maegan; foster brother Carroll Young and brother Paul Taylor. Also survived by her nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren. A small shout out to her pet pig Mustard Eddie Freddie Cleopatra as she loved to bring him up. No one is sure if it was a boy or girl pig. Maggie was always a devote Christian and often went to different services around the area just to mix it up over the years. The Nute Ridge Bible Chapel was her last favorite. Maggie loved to travel and she traveled to different countries.We lost count of the countries she has visited and hopefully Interpol has as well. Maggie volunteered on archaeological digs in Switzerland for a Viking boat, Tonga to study giant clams and I think she dug something up in Egypt. She loved connecting to the local people and they seemed to love her back judging by all the gifts she had accumulated. In her retirement years she would love to go antiquing and yard sale’ing to decorate her barn house. She daily went out to eat with friends. One of her favorite sayings was that she “Only had a kitchen because it came with the house”. Maggie loved to drive her golf cart around the property with the grandkids in tow. She only lost one occasionally. She liked to mow the fields on her beloved tractor. She was still driving the tractor into her 80’s until one of the mean sons took the keys away after she drove it into the garage on fire. She said she didn’t want me to have to work on it out in the field, so she raced it into the garage at top speed. That’s kind of the same way she drove her car also. Never knew anybody who got more warnings and never a ticket than her. Mom loved flowers and would pick wild ones for the barn house. Particularly purple ones as that is her favorite color. But she hated dandelions. I’m not sure if she hated yellow? She would hand pluck a thousand of them in 90 degree heat in her 70’s and put anybody to shame that tried to keep up and passed out face down in the dandelions like a wimp. We could continue on with this trend for some time. But we would ask that folks coming to the Celebration of Life take a moment to write down on a card an event or memory of Maggie that makes them smile. Names can be omitted if there are any active investigations you would rather avoid answering embarrassing questions about. We will have a board to post them all on at the reception for friends to share and reminisce. In honor of her favorite color, please consider accessorizing your attire with something purple. In her remembrance, if you would like to make a donation - please consider bringing a box of school supplies to your local first grade teacher this fall. Tell them Maggie sent you. The funeral will be held on Saturday, July 29, at 10 a.m. at the Edgerly Funeral Home in Rochester. There will be a private graveside service burial at the Glen Cemetery at the convenience of the family. == Carolyn S. King passed away at Mineral Springs Nursing Home in North Conway, N.H., on Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Carolyn was born in Bowling Green, Ohio, in 1940 to Arthur and Dorothy Schooner and was the oldest of four children. Carolyn S. King She met her best friend and beloved husband William King in 1960. In Virginia Beach, Va., Bill served in the Navy and Carolyn was a devoted military spouse and mother. They lived in New York, Virginia and West Germany. _________________________ Joe Kerins, 91, passed peacefully at his home in Center Conway, N.H., on Nov. 24, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Patty, four children, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Born Oct. 20, 1932, in Philadelphia, Joe was the eldest and last survivor of five brothers who remained close throughout their lives. He was devoted to his parents, Ethel (née Connolly) and James Kerins. He served in the Navy during the Korean war and played semi-professional baseball before becoming a police officer for 25 years in Haddon Township, N.J. He was the local sergeant everyone knew and was responsible for training many who came after him. He was known for his patience, hard work and quick wit. Summer vacations were spent camping in National Parks all over the United State with Peg, his wife of 41 years, and their four children, Joseph (Elaine), Michael (Tammy), Jeanne (Evan) and Patrick (René). Joe and Peg fell in love with the Mount Washington Valley when they first visited in 1960 and each summer adventure included time in New Hampshire. In the 1970s, Joe coached baseball for his kids and others while Peg kept score. They bought a family vehicle that could fit almost an entire PopWarner football team or full (loud) cheerleading squad, somehow doing all of this while working shift work as a police officer. He spent many hot days on a baseball diamond, still in his black uniform, helping his kids do what they loved. One of his Babe Ruth players became a police officer, crediting his experience with Joe as the reason. Joe would often begin a story and start to laugh before he could finish. It was so infectious; we’d find ourselves laughing along before he’d even gotten to the funny part of the story. He loved providing a solid foundation and adventurous life for his family, joyful Christmases, and watching Notre Dame football, the Eagles and Phillies as well as later adding the Patriots and Red Sox. He would wake the family early on St. Patrick’s Day playing the family’s favorite Irish songs at full volume. Upon Joe’s retirement in 1980,Joe and Peg were thrilled to move to their chalet in Glen, N.H.They spent many evenings watching sunsets over the mountains from their beloved deck. Joe worked part-time as a bail commissioner as well as a bailiff in the Conway District Court. He joined the Eagle Mountain Golf Club where he enjoyed golfing with many wonderful friends. He was a member of the Mountain Washington Valley Old Car Club, having always been a lover of cars and all the folks who like to talk about them. You would have seen Joe many years in his ‘72 powder blue Cougar convertible in the Bartlett Fourth of July parade. “Uncle Joe and Aunt Peg” were loved by their many nieces and nephews. They began to gain grandchildren (and became known as Mom Mom and Pop Pop) starting in the late 1990s, in order of appearance, Julia, Elizabeth, Molly, Amanda, Garrett and Allie; and later great-grandchild, Cole. All loved him dearly and will miss everything about him, but especially his wry sense of humor. Peg passed in 2002, which Joe described as akin to losing his right arm. Some years later, Joe met Patty, who brought laughter back into his life — they married in 2010.Joe sold his chalet in Glen in favor of a home more suited to their needs. He and Patty chose the design of their beautiful home, where they lived together for almost a decade. They enjoyed various retirement activities including waving at the neighbors as they shared coffee on the front porch and visits with both his and Patty’s families. Joe loved Patty’s cooking and was very fond of Patty’s children and grandchildren. Weekly lunches with his ROMEO group were a highlight. He was an altar boy as a child and a devout Catholic his entire life. Joe was a member of: St. Monica’s in Philadelphia; Holy Saviour in Westmont, N.J.; St. Joseph in Bartlett, N.H.; and finally, Our Lady of the Mountains Parish in North Conway, N.H. We’d like to share special thanks for the exceptional help from Ray Rabideau, the folks at VNS and the VA as well as Joe’s wonderful neighbors (especially Chris and Michelle Mattei and Gene Brown) who are always willing to lend a hand. Patty lovingly cared for Joe until the end to fulfill his wish to be at home. Viewing will be Friday, Dec 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Furber & White Funeral Home at 2925 White Mountain Highway in North Conway. The funeral will be on Saturday, Dec. 2, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church at 2905 White Mountain Highway in North Conway. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Veteran’s Affairs or Visiting Nurse Services in honor of Joe._____________ Johnson CJ Robert Jones RichardJones LorraineJones Jefferson Kondrup-TAYLOR King Kerins cARROLLkELLEY Anchor 3 BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE FloraJones Flora Leona Giles Jones of Boothbay, Maine, died Tuesday, April 18, 2006, with her son and daughter at her side .Flora was born at home in Boothbay during a snowstorm on May 11, 1925, to Samuel Fremont and Esther (Gray) Giles.

He never changed the way he lived his life to accommodate what other people might think. A consummate storyteller, he loved to make people laugh and never spared himself in stories, often making himself the butt of the joke. He was clever, but also never let the obvious one-liner slip past him. He was a dedicated athlete, breaking personal records for his entire life starting as the smallest player to belatedly growing to be one of the bigger adults. As a kid, he played baseball and football (a lifetime fan of MLB and NFL); then on to wrestling (high school) and cross-country running (high school and college); with some basketball and softball thrown in as an adult; ultimately focusing on cycling and volleyball in the last decade. He recently played at the USA Volleyball Adult Open National Championship and continued cycling right up until his untimely death. He played volleyball often with a crew in Meredith and Concord to ready himself for national tournaments and enjoy their company. Another passion was poker, which he played with a core group in the valley. Michael was reliable, strong, and steady. He gave the best hugs. He didn’t stand for bullies or cruelty. With loved ones, he was unfailingly kind, even sweet. He had a great love for his family and each moment they could spend together, strategically planning family vacations where they would find a beach for Tammy and good cycling paths for Michael. As a family they opened their home and family to many who sought a soft place to land. He was thoughtful and passionate politically. He applied history to put the current political climate into context and often shared these thoughts in opinion pieces in The Conway Daily Sun. From childhood (often with a flashlight after bedtime), he was a voracious reader. He excelled in his career in retail management, but chose lifestyle and extracurriculars as his priority, loving his life, family and activities above all. Most recently, he was with Adidas for 17 years, earning the MVP award and the respect of his colleagues. Michael is survived by his wife and best friend of 30 years, Tammy; their children Elizabeth (Kirk Haley) and Molly (Scott Smith); grandson Cole; and siblings Joseph “C.J.” (Elaine), Jeanne (Evan) Rothfield and Patrick (René Damen); as well as wonderful in-laws, cousins, and adoring nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, Joe and Peg Kerins. A celebration of life will be held at Cranmore Mountain Resort, Thursday, June 18, from 4:306:30 p.m. In true Michael fashion, casual attire. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Michael’s honor to New England Disabled Sports at nedisabledsports.org. =============================================== Gerald Ivan James, 83, of Intervale, N.H., passed away on June 11, 2026. Born on Aug. 4, 1942, in North Conway, N.H., Gerald was the son of the late Frank James and Pansy Lantz James. He lived his entire life in the Mount Washington Valley, a true New Englander through and through. Gerald was, above all else, a family man. He married the love of his life, Gail Cotter James , on May 5, 1962, and together they shared more than 64 years of marriage. Those decades were filled with family dinners around the table, laughter that never seemed to end and stories told so many times that everyone knew the punchline but laughed anyway. Gerald had a funny saying for everything and a one-liner ready for any occasion. If you spent fi ve minutes with him, you walked away smiling. A hard worker his whole life, Gerald dedicated his time and talents to the community he loved. Over the years, he worked for Cranmore Mountain and the U.S. Forest Service. He was a familiar face to many through his work for both the town of Jackson and the town of Bartlett. Gerald installed carpet in many homes throughout the valley when he was part-owner of J & J Floorcovering. Gerald also knew how to have a good time. He was a passionate stock car racer, running the No. 23 and 32 cars at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine. The highlight of his racing career was winning the presti gious Oxford 250 — Charger Division Race, a feat that fi lled him with pride for the rest of his days. When he wasn’t behind the wheel, you could fi nd him out in the woods hunting, sitting over a hole on a frozen lake ice fi shing, tossing horseshoes, or locked in a competitive game of cribbage. He especially treasured the time he spent ice fi shing with his son Kevin, his daughter-in-law Bonnie and his grandchildren, passing along his love of the outdoors to the next generation. Gerald was a man of routine, and every morning you could fi nd him at Patches in Glen and then up to his daughter Betsy’s house, where he would have coffee and discuss what was happening in the world. Gerald and Gail shared a wonderful friendship with Dale and Jean Hamilton, and some of their happiest times were spent playing cards, going out to eat and heading off on vacations together. Those friendships, built over years of shared meals and good com pany, meant the world to him. He is survived by his beloved wife, Gail Cotter James of Intervale; his son, Kevin (Bonnie) James; and his daughter, Betsy (Dennis) Fall; grand children Brandon and Danielle James, Matthew (Jessica) James, Brittany (Thomas) Bouchie, Casey (Lauren) Mickle, Cailee (Shawn) Bergeron, and Allison (Ronnie) Fall; and seven great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son, Arthur James; his daughter, Susan James; his parents, Frank and Pansy James; his sis ters, Eileen James and Dottie James; and his brothers, Frank James Jr., Goodwin James and Lawrence James. Gerald lived a full and rich life, surrounded by the people and places he loved most. He found joy in simple things, sit ting on his porch listening to the East Branch River, tinkering in his garage or being at his great-grandchildren’s sports games. He left behind not wealth or fame, but something far more lasting: the memory of a man who showed up, who worked hard, who loved deeply and who always had something funny to say. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Gerald’s name to the American Alzheimer’s Association of N.H. and Massachusetts, 320 Nevada St., Suite 201, Newton, MA 02460, or on their website.
