Rodney S. Jones' Obituary
ONEONTA – Rodney Stephen Jones, 59, on December 9, 2015 went to be with the Lord after a short but brave and courageous illness. He was at Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown.
He was born April 17, 1956 in Walton, the son of Richard and Catherine (Stanton) Jones.
Rodney graduated from Walton Central School, Class of 1974. He went on to SUNY Morrisville and attained an associates degree in electrical engineering in May 1976. In the September of 1976 he was hired by NYSEG and was currently employed there as an electrical field planner at his time of death having worked almost 40 years there.
In 1980, he married Bonnie Sue Rowe. Their son, Erik Stephen Jones, was born in 1988. They shared 34 years of marriage. Recently Rodney reconnected with his childhood friend, Nancy Rutherford Grotevant, previously of Walton, and was very happy in his new relationship.
He is survived by his son, Erik, as well as his father, Richard Jones of Stamford; Nancy, Bonnie; nieces and nephews, Tori, Kevin and Corrina Rowe, Levi Jones and Rachel Cestone; his mother-in-law, Joyce Rowe; brother-in-law, Michael and Karen Rowe; several aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was predeceased by his mother, Catherine Jones; brother, Timothy Jones and father-in-law, Claude Rowe.
Rodney was a member of the Oneonta Sportsman Club, NRA, and in the past served on the Oneonta Planning Board for several years. He enjoyed his muscle car, boating, camping and he was a great swimmer.
Calling hour will be from 12-1 p.m. with the funeral service beginning at 1 p.m., Tuesday, December 15, 2015 at the Lewis, Hurley & Pietrobono Funeral Home, 51 Dietz St., Oneonta. The Rev.
