Albert Jones Jr. entered into eternal slumber on Sunday, Jan. 14, 2018. He was born in Suffolk on Oct. 4, 1928, to the late Mary and Albert Jones Sr.

Albert graduated from Booker T. Washington High School, West Virginia State College and the University of Virginia Graduate Realty Program.

Upon his retirement from civil service, he began working full time as the owner/manager of Albert Jones Real Estate and Income Tax Service. While an active broker, in his later years he was the oldest active broker in the city of Suffolk.

He was a member of Macedonia AME Church and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.

Jones-Watford (Percy Jr.); four grandchildren, Alena Knight (Paul) and their three children, Albertrina N. Baker, Amber N. Edney, Percy Jacobie Watford; and a host of cousins, godchildren and friends.
