Robert Jones Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Robert Allan Jones, 79, of Williamstown, MA died on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield. He was born in North Adams on September 3, 1945, a son of the late Harwood Grover Jones and Eleanor (Powers) Jones.

Bob, as he was known to his friends, attended schools in Williamstown, graduating from Mount Greylock Regional High School. He received his Associates Degree from Berkshire Community College.

Bob was a veteran of the Vietnam War, serving with the United States Air Force from October 1967 to October 1971, obtaining the rank of Sergeant. Bob was a proud veteran who volunteered his time for 51 years on the Board of Registrars for Williamstown and was a member of the North Adams American Legion.

Bob served for many years as a park ranger on the Mount Greylock State Reservation for the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation

"Bob the bus driver" provided safe transport to local students in Williamstown. He was a big fan of the local sporting events, regularly supporting local teams. After retiring from driving the school bus, Bob downsized to minivans, providing transport services to Williams College students.

Bob will be remembered with an unlit cigar in his mouth, sharing great stories or updates on his nephews and family whom he was incredibly proud of.

He is survived by his sister, Nancy Rowan; nephews, Travis and Lucas Rowan; grandnieces Rori, Remi and Taliyah; grandnephews, William, Walkar, and Ashton; and many local friends especially his close friend Bruce Goff who was always there for him. Bob was predeceased by a sister Eleanor "Honey" Jones and brother Richard Jones.

A real fixture throughout town and especially Spring Street, Bob will be missed by many.

Funeral services will take place Saturday September 6, 2025 at the Sherman Burbank Memorial Chapel at 605 Main Street, Williamstown at 11:00 AM. Follow by full military honors. Calling hours will be held Friday September 5, 2025 from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Flynn & Dagnoli Funeral Home, WEST CHAPELS, 521 West Main St. North Adams, MA.
