Phillip Lee Jones

Phillip Lee Jones, affectionately called PJ, Pops, and the mail man, was born November 10, 1924 in Caroline County. He was the son of Eugene and Mamie Edith Jones. He was married to the late Viola Clara Ware. Phillip died suddenly at Carrington Place (Tappahannock Manor Nursing Home) in Tappahannock, Va.

During his life, he worked at various jobs. He did construction, he repaired his own vehicles and taught his sons to do the same. He was a jack of all trades. But he was ultimately known as the ''mail-man.'' For some 15 years or so, along his route from Supply to Tappahannock, Phillip met and befriend many. To know him, you loved him. He was a very loving and kind hearted person. He touched the lives of many people during his 83 years of life. Now he looks forward to something better. Soon there will be life without sickness and pain.
