Bobbie was an avid golfer. He made a hole-in-one at Blue Ridge Country Club, Galax, VA, where he received a gold putter. He loved to play golf with his buddies and played for 30 years. He loved to fish with his grandkids and watch college football on Saturdays. He loved to play jokes on his family and friends. Bobbie was also a veteran of the United States Army for 3 years and was stationed in Germany.

He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Mavis Houseman Jones; his children, Amy J. Myers (Kenny) of Dublin, Mark A. Jones (Lattie) of Newbern, and Brian Jones of Ivanhoe.

The family would like to thank Medi Home Health and Hospice – to the nurses and aid that took care of him. Also, to Louise Medley and Pori’Shua Jones. The family could not have asked for any better ladies to take care of their dad. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.

Per his request, he wanted no suits to be worn at his funeral. He asked that men wear nice blue jeans, dress pants and a nice shirt. He was not a suite man at all!!
