The Jones family sadly announces the peaceful passing of Pop on May 29th, 2020. Known for his strength, loyalty, his quick witted humor, and his steadfast love of his family. Always having a wisdom, story, care, or special moments he touched the lives of many and will be remembered always. He took pride in the fact he was a Navy man and served from 1955 to 1959.

Finding work he loved, he owned and operated Don's Upholstery for 30 years. Prior to owning his own business he worked at Lenox China and Resorts Casino. An active member of the community, he served in the late 60s to the early 70s on Absecon's Volunteer Ambulance Squad for many years. He was also an Absecon Boy Scout Pack leader. In his spare time he enjoyed fishing, traveling with his family, and gardening. Preceded in death he will be greeted with open arms by his parents and his waiting shadow; his beloved dog Wrinkles. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife, Barbara Ann; his loving granddaughter and partner in crime, Lauren Elise; his three children who adored him, Barbara Lee Ann, Donald G. Jones (Alice), and Michael Jones (Margaret); Pop to 8 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren; Brother Edwin (Becky).
