Swansboro- Charles Harrison Jones (Harry), 69, passed away on Friday, March 31, 2023 at Crystal Coast Hospice House in Newport, NC. Harry was born in Portsmouth, Va. on January 13, 1954. He was preceded in death by his father, Gaither M. Jones and his sister Amy Jones.

Growing up in Swansboro, Harry spent much of his time on the water. He loved fishing, shrimping and diving for flounder under the bridges. His teenage and early adult years were spent working as a first mate on many local charter boats. Harry worked in Raleigh for twenty-five years. He finished his career as a Lead Firmware Engineer for Valencell, Inc. He enjoyed the Raleigh nightlife and spent free time hand drumming in local clubs. Harry was most proud of graduating from Campbell University with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Digital Electronics at the age of 50. Harry loved learning and education.
Special thanks to Harry's friends Bobby Askew, Richard Dowdy, Steve Griffin, and Terry Love for their many visits and support while in hospice. Thanks also to Crystal Coast Hospice House for their good care during his illness.
