William Mossman Jones, 67, passed away Saturday, February 19, 2022.
Bill was born October 9, 1954 in Louisville, Kentucky to the late John Edward Jones & Laura Pauline “Polly” Stanford Jones. After graduating from Seneca High School in 1972, he moved to Atlanta, Georgia following in his dad’s footsteps by attending Georgia Tech.
After graduating from Tech with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Management, he stayed in Atlanta and began his working life employed by Southern Solar Energy Center.
Always interested in having his own company, in 1983, Bill became a manufacturer’s representative.
After having briefly met while both attending Georgia Tech years prior, Bill and Lauren crossed paths again and this time it led to their marriage in 1986. There was no better match under the sun. A true love story, an inseparable pair. Bill and Lauren moved to Newnan, Georgia in 1994 where Lauren’s parents resided. Their son, Stanford, was born that same year. Stanford was always the apple of his dad’s eye.
In his career, Bill was always dedicated to “doing the job right “and he had an exceptional ability to attend to the details. Because of the team of quality individuals that he assembled along with the invaluable support from his able partner Lauren, Bill had a long and successful run as an independent business owner.
All told, Bill was lucky. But it wasn’t all luck. Good things came his way because of his good nature. Simply put, Bill was fun to be around. He was likable, he loved to laugh, and he could very nearly sing. All of his golfing buddies wished they could have given that mulligan to him that he always claimed he deserved. He was deeply loved by his family and by the wonderful friends that he made through the years. He was a steadfast and true friend and was staunchly dedicated to his family. The world is a lesser place without Bill.
