Chatham – George T. Jones, 83, died Monday, May 7th, 2018. He was the loving husband of Nancy (Marginot) Jones, the son of the late Genevieve Jones and George T. Jones Jr and the brother of Richard J. Jones of PA.
George graduated from Matigon High School and received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1957. He served his country from 1957 to 1959. He met the love of his life in 1964 and they lived happily in Cohasset, MA until moving to Chatham, MA in 2001.
George became a territory sales manager for Crosby Laughlin which later became The Crosby Group. The demands of travel and time spent away from his young sons and wife led him to become an entrepreneur. In 1971 he left Crosby to found and grow his own company, Eastern Sling & Supply, which still operates successfully today, using many of the processes and procedures which he put in place years ago. He enjoyed scuba diving, fishing, astronomy and the beauty of Hardings Beach.
George is survived by three sons and their wives: George Thomas and wife Denise of Duxbury, MA; Theodore and wife Shirley of Lebanon, NH; and Dennis and wife Karen of Harwich, MA. He is also survived by his seven grandchildren; Rachel, Danielle, Samantha, Rebecca, Alex, Maya, and Dylan.
