Obituary

James Frank "Jimmy" Jones, of Bremen passed away December 31, 2007. Mr. Jones was born on July 27, 1931 in Haralson County, Georgia the son of the late E.B. Jones, Sr and Hattie Walker Jones. Jimmy graduated from Bremen High School in 1948 and went on to graduate from Georgia Tech in 1952. He was part of the R.O.T.C. program at Georgia Tech and went directly from school to serve in the Korean War from 1952 to 1954 as First Lieutenant. Jimmy was known for his great business abilities. He began his career at Jones Motor Company (his father's dealership), continued on to work for American Mutual Insurance Company for many years and then in 1971 was hired by Hans Stoffel as the new president of Southern Can Company in Tallapoosa, Georgia. When Jimmy accepted this position, the company was struggling to survive. He was able to turn things around due to his people skills, progressive ideas and leadership. Southern Can Company became known as the "Innovators" in the Industry and a prominent company in Haralson County under his leadership. He retired in 1985. After retirement, Jimmy occupied himself with many hobbies, which included his laundry mat, mastering Photoshop and Lotus on his computer, and taking care of his family. During the past several years, he has spent the majority of his time supporting his wife, Anne H. Jones, the love of his life and wife for 55 years, during her battle with leukemia. The family was members of the First United Methodist Church of Bremen. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his wife, Anne H. Jones. Survivors include three children, Charlie & Carole Jones of Bremen, Diane & Tom Campbell of Atlanta and Suzanne & Sonny Arnau of Snellville; brother and sister in law, E.B. & Jo Jones of Bremen; grandchildren, Chuck & Christen Jones, Todd, Shea & Jamie Campbell, Katie, Quinn & Anna Arnau.
