He also served in the United States Army. After returning from his army services he returned to Acworth to his building career. Bobby built many homes and several businesses in Acworth and Kennesaw, Georgia. He was the oldest of nine children and was a huge benefactor in the rearing of his younger siblings. In 1962, Bobby married Katherine Coker Jones of Marietta, Georgia. They had two sons, Keith and Randall Jones. Bobby was very active in The Acworth Little League Association. Bobby’s wife Katherine passed away in 1989. In 1992, he married Helen Abbott Jones. They lived in Kennesaw and Ellijay, Georgia for 27 years.
