Bob Jones, W5BJ, SK
I have recently received the sad news that Bob, W5BJ, has become a silent key. Bob is well known to all of us in the area who volunteered for large public service events like the Dallas Marathon. Below is the memorial information I received:
To friends of Bob Jones, W5BJ,
As a long time friend, mentor, Elmer and confidant, I am left saddened at the lost of my friend. I miss our long conversations about radios and every thing else in the world. Bob a Texas A&M graduate and U S Army veteran had an distinguished career with Collins Radio Company and through it's transitions with Rockwell International and Alcatel Telecom. Bob's radio involvement spanned many areas. He was asked by Garland city officials to start a Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) program in Garland and was the initial lead for over 20 years. Later becoming the first Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) Emergency Coordinator for Garland. In addition Bob headed up the communications for the Dallas Marathon for many year, as well as, many local public service events. I will miss his enthusiasm for helping the amateur radio community. I will miss him.
Visitation for Robert "Bob" G Jones will be at the Charles W Smith Funeral Home, 2925 5th Street, Sachse, Texas 75048 Thursday June 12th 2025 from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM.
