CLERMONT COUNTY, Ohio (WLWT) — A Clermont County veteran known for waving at school buses as they drive by his home got a special birthday surprise.
To mark his 95th birthday, the community organized a parade of school buses just for him.
For two decades, Bob Jones has been putting smiles on students’ faces as they head to school.
Last week, that parade of school buses put a big smile on Jones’ face.
“I wave at the kids and bus drivers, and they wave back. A lot of people in the cars wave, and the kids roll the windows down and then holler, ‘Mr. Bob.’ Some of them says, ‘I love you,'” Jones said.
Neighbors say everyone who meets Jones loves him.
“My sister drives for a bus. And this is the second or third generation of students that are coming by, and that, we’ll say hi to him as they go past,” said Shelly Tipton.
She said he’s a role model for students.
