Born in Bristol, Pa, Bob was a resident of Levittown for most of his life, most recently Vermillion Hills, until moving to The Birches Care Center in Newtown Pa in March of 2019.

He was the beloved husband of Audrey “Midge” Jones (nee Carango) to whom he was married for 63 years.  He is also survived by his son Robert A Jones (Liz) of Jackson, NJ, and his daughter Candy L Moyer (Bob) of Doylestown, PA.  He was preceded in death by his son Donald W Jones of Fairless Hills, Pa, who lost his life in the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. 

Bob is survived by his loving grandchildren Bob, Katie, Valerie and Kole Jones, Meg Jones and Jessica Philipbar, and Holly, Miranda and Bill Moyer.  He is also survived by his brothers Jimmy Jones of Barnegat, NJ and Barry Jones of Levittown, Pa, daughters-in-law Dotty Jones of Langhorne, Pa and Susan Jones of Yardley, Pa, brother-in-law John (Bucky) Carango, Wesley Chapel, Fl and sister-in-law Mary Jane Halcomb, Mt.

Bob proudly served his country in the US Army, during the Korean Conflict, and was a member of the American Legion Post 834.  He worked at Pennsbury Schools (Medill Bair) for 25 years and was previously employed at Badenhausen Corporation.  Bob spent many years coaching his children in softball, as well as playing in a senior men’s league.  He enjoyed hanging out with his teams in Kasdon’s after many games.  Bob enjoyed watching NASCAR races and was a big fan of Dale Earnhardt.  He was also a huge fan of the New York Giants football team.

Bob’s family would like to thank the staff at The Birches of Newtown, Pa for their care and compassion over the last year.

Burial will be private at Washington Crossing National Cemetery, Newtown, Pa.  Due to restrictions, a memorial will be held at a later date.  Memorial contributions can be made to Christ United Methodist Church, 501 Wistar Rd, Fairless Hills, Pa 19030.
