William A. Jones, age 77, of Upper Darby, PA, passed away on September 17, 2024. Born in Bryn Mawr, PA, he was the son of the late William A. and Mary Jones (nee Diubaldo).

William Jones aka “Jonesy” was a proud veteran of this United States Army and then was a valuable employee of Aqua Water Company for over 40 years retiring as a maintenance supervisor/ foreman. He was involved in his community by being apart of the Masonic Lodge, American Legion Post 214 and Upper Darby Township Square Club which he served for many years as Trustee.
