George William Jones

He served as a fireman for the Bristol, Tenn. Fire Department and retired as an electrician from East Tennessee State University.

Mr. Jones was a member of Bales Chapel United Methodist Church.

He was a wonderful husband, loving father and grandfather who loved working with his hands and woodworking. Anyone who spent any amount of time with him learned something and will agree that he was crazy, funny, firm in his beliefs and not afraid of anyone or anything. Above all, he was a family man.
