Francis Jones Obituary

Francis Folis Jones Suffolk - On April 22, 2016 at the age of 80, Francis Folis Jones crossed the finish line for the last time.

He is survived by his wife, 3 children 9 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, many friends and "adopted" family. He served as a Senior Chief in the US Navy on submarines, prospered in a second career as a Chief Psychologist for the Virginia Department of Corrections. He was a pilot, a race car driver, a renaissance man and a dear friend who never met a stranger. Words cannot satisfy any description enough to capture the true character that he was.
