Rev Roy Lee Jones was a pastor extraordinaire. He loved people, was exceptionally wise, and gave himself completely to his call.
Much honor was earned by both He and his dear wife Bobby Joyce.
Mr. Roy was such a blessing in my life. We shared laughs, hugs & sometimes even tears. He will be missed.
Rev. Roy Lee Jones was my pastor from 1960 – 1963. I have many great memories of him, his wife and their children. When I think of words to describe him, they are steadfast, unmovable, consistent, Godly and always faithful. He loved his family dearly and was quick to let it be known. He will be greatly missed.
Bro. Roy Lee Jones was my Father in the Lord. He served with such love and compassion but at the same time corrected us when needed. He came to Salina, Kansas in 1963. Words can never express how much him and his family were loved by the people he pastored. I can’t explain how much of an impact that they had in my life. I miss him and Sis Jones very much. Can’t wait to see them again on the other side!
Bro Roy Lee Jones was my Dads pastor. He was kind and watched out for Bro Easter and my very dependent mom. I’m grateful
