In a 2017 interview with Eureka Springs Channels Melodye Purdy, Berryville contractor Jimmy Jones gazes at a giant hole in a downtown Eureka Springs parking lot. Purdy says shes heard a lot of good things about Jones from his employees and Jones chuckles.
Well, good, he says. I guess they wanted a raise.
After Jones passing last week, his friends in the community said all those good things were true.
John Cross, who commissioned Jones to repair the parking lot in 2017, said he worked with Jones many times over the years on CS Bank projects. Cross said Jones worked on projects throughout Carroll County and even traveled to Harrison, Huntsville and Missouri to do work for the bank.
