Mr. Alfonso Jones was born on July 16, 1957 in Tampa, FL.  He attended Plant High School where he ran track and graduated in 1975.  He worked for the Tampa Housing Authority from 1978 until his retirement in management with the company.  He was very kind and loving to everyone.  He was a proud man and definitely a no nonsense type of guy.  Mr. Jones was a master of everything including singing, carpentry and advising.  Our dad was an awesome listener and an even better teacher.

Closing Statements:  “I want everyone in this life to know, I hope that I encouraged, helped, talked and saved someone.  No matter how long you live, life is short so make the best of it.  Because when it is over, it is over.”  Alfonso Jones
