On Thursday morning, Ashland paid tribute to their Borough Manager, Ray Jones, who passed away unexpectedly on Sunday morning.

Thursday was his services and during the procession to the cemetery, the Borough of Ashland showed their respect to Jones.

With flags at half-staff in the borough, the procession followed Centre Street to 20th Street to the Brock Cemetary.
 
On the way, the fire department blocked off Centre Street while members of the Washington Fire Company, American Hose Company, and the Fort Indiantown Gap Fire Department stood at attention, saluting Jones. Jones had been a 35-year member of the Ashland Fire Department and was an Assistant Fire Chief at Fort Indiantown Gap for 33 years.

At Walnut Street, his borough workers blocked the street and honored Jones as the procession passed with the Ashland Police Department saluted at the entrance to the cemetery.
