A. Durand 'Randy' Jones
Former Olympic National Park assistant superintendent dies at 56
ESTES PARK, Colo. -- A. Durand ``Randy" Jones, a former National Park Service deputy director and past assistant superintendent of Olympic National Park, has died after a long battle with cancer.
Jones' career with the National Park Service spanned more than 30 years.
He worked in five different national parks and administrative positions in Washington, D.C.
He died at 56 in his home in Colorado on Nov. 23.
``He died way too young, " Rocky Mountain National Park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson said.
``But he accomplished a lot and touched so many people's lives."
Jones served as the superintendent of Rocky Mountain National Park from 1995 to 2002.
He previously had worked as the assistant superintendent at Everglades National Park in Florida when, in 1992, Hurricane Andrew ripped through the park and the home he shared with his wife.
``It literally disintegrated around them. There was hardly anything left, " said Kevin FitzGerald, National Park Service intermountain region chief.
``Most people who go through something like that, it traumatizes them for life.
``He just had the ability to laugh stuff off."
Jones' time as assistant superintendent at Olympic National Park was in the 1980s. He played a major role in leading the development of the Elwha River restoration project, including the removal of two dams on the river.
Jones' survivors include his wife, Julie, of Estes Park; his mother, Virginia Jones of Tallahassee, Fla.; and a sister, Casey, also of Tallahassee.
A service is planned for Jan. 28 in Estes Park.
