Robert A. Jones, 69, of Billerica, formerly of Needham, passed away on Sept. 18, 2016 surrounded by his loving family. Son of the late Harald W. M. Jones and Dorothy C. Jones, he is survived by his brother Richard C. Jones, and his beloved children Carolyn Jones and David Wright, Julie Jones, and Debra Jones, and five grandchildren.
Robert was born and raised in Needham, Massachusetts and served in the United States Navy aboard the USS Forrestal (CV-59). Upon return from service he worked in the printing industry for Honeywell and Raytheon Corporations, among others. A World War II buff and ever-enthusiastic fisherman, his sense of humor as well as his love of nautical lore will be greatly missed.
Funeral services will be private.
