September 23, 1939 — April 29, 2021

Glenmont- James Joseph Jones "Jonesie", 81, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 29, 2021 with his loving family by his side. He was the son of the late Walter and Vivian Jones. James was the devoted husband to Charlotte A. Jones. They were married 62 years.

After graduating from high school, James joined the United States Air Force until his honorable discharge. He works as a teamster truck driver for Blueline Express, Carman Trucking, and August Bohl Contracting until his retirement. In his spare time he enjoyed working as an electrician.

Jonesie enjoyed spending time with his entire family and making his annual home made spaghetti sauce and delicious home made apple pies for them. He and Charlotte were avid slot machine players. One of his favorite things to do was to tell stories at family gatherings to his children and grandchildren. He will be most well remembered for his fond love of bothering Tony.
