Jones Chan, who was an SHN Member for more than 40 years, recently passed away at the age of 99. Prior to his passing, he completed our Member Spotlight Survey and below are his responses, along with a note from his wife of 37 years, Kathleen:
“Quite sad to say that my sweetie pie Jones passed peacefully at the age of 99 years, 4 months & 15 days. We had a hell of a wildly fantastic 37 years together. He started singing karaoke at 90 and seeing Broadway shows at SHN was his passion and many thanks for honoring ‘Member #7′” – Kathleen Chan
