He is pre-deceased by his daughter Stacie Cuglietta, granddaughter Casey Hays, and daughter-in-law Michelle Jones. Son of the late Robert J. Jones, Sr., and Barbara (Wheeler) Jones Bailey, Bob was raised in Bolton, attended local schools and was a graduate of Nashoba Regional High School, Class of 1963. In addition to his professional career in the construction, well drilling, and turf management fields, Jonesy embarked on a smorgasbord of entrepreneurial adventures, including, but not limited to gas station ownership, screen printing, and canoe sales. His legendary antics will forever live on in local lore through memories of drag racing his Dodge through the streets of Clinton and Lancaster and competing for championships in the POPs softball league. A talented marksman, Bob was a gun enthusiast and sport shooter, an avid fisherman and outdoorsman. He had a lifelong love for Marilyn Monroe, and enjoyed the simple pleasures of feeding the birds, tending to his plants, and watching NASCAR. A man of great integrity, Bob was a devoted family man, a proud and loving father and grandfather.
