Mr. Jones, à l'évidence, a peint des tableaux tout à fait étonnants, inestimables, admirables à jamais. Sachons cela. Ressentons cela aussi bien que possible.

page 117 " Autour de H.W. "Jimmy" Jones, Aut. Bernard Tanguay, Ed. Le loup de gouttière. 1996

Je trouve que les gens qui collectionnent les oeuvres de Jimmy (H. Jones) sont très sérieux, très sincères. Ils ne les achètent pas pour l'investissement qu'elles représentent. Ils les achètent, au contraire, parce qu'ils les aiment.

- Paul Kastel, 1990

 Les gens ne comprendront que dans cinquante ans quel grand peintre est Jimmy. Mais pourquoi diable ne le voient-ils pas deja?...
