Don Jones of 11 Brigantine Circle passed away on June 16th, 2006.  The following is the obituary as it appeared in the Norwell Mariner on June 22nd.

Donald Edward Jones, 77, of Norwell, died June 16, 2006, at the New England Medical Center in Boston.

The son of the late Edward and Pearl Jones, he was born in Springfield, and graduated from Springfield Technical High School. He entered the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. for two and a half years, and graduated from Amherst College in Amherst. He attended Boston University School of Theology, and served his student ministry at the Methodist church in Marlborough.

After ordination he served as minister at the First Methodist Church in Framingham for 11 years. In 1967, Mr. Jones became a professor of philosophy, religion and psychology at Dean Junior College.

An enthusiastic sailor, he enjoyed hiking, swimming, jogging, and camping with his family in state and national parks. An avid reader, Mr. Jones was intrigued by the latest technology, and enjoyed listening to music on his I-Pod.

In the past nine years, his compromised physical abilities did not hinder his spirit of adventure and positive outlook. Mr. Jones gave generously to many charities and believed in reaching out to people in need across the globe.

He leaves his loving wife of 54 years, Patricia (Beale) Jones; his children, Timothy Jones of Boston, Pamela J. Healy and her husband Peter of Norwell, and Christopher A. Jones and his wife Lisa (Boucher) Jones of Natick; and four grandchildren, Ben, Tim and Georgia Healy, and Sean.

A Memorial Service celebrating his life will be held on Saturday, June 24, at 2 p.m., in St. Luke Episcopal Church, Route 3A, Scituate. A committal service for family members will be held at a later date in Mosswood Cemetery, Cotuit. Arrangements by McNamara-Sparrell Funeral Home, Norwell.
