In November 1999 the council purchased a new podium and dedicated it to Jones.
A golden plaque on its front reads, “The Cambridge City Council hereby dedicates this podium to William C. Jones in recognition of his many years of effective public testimony at its meetings.”
Councillors described Jones as a defender for the people in Cambridge he felt were unappreciated—the elderly, residents of subsidized housing and council employees themselves.
Friends describe Jones as a sociable man who could spend hours talking about any aspect of city life and politics.
“He loved to be in conversation,” said Sullivan, describing how Jones would come and find him at church to have a chat.
