Richard Foster Jones, of Panama City Beach, passed away on December 1, 2016.  He grew up in South Dakota and graduated from the University of South Dakota.  He lived and worked in Minnesota for 33 years until retiring to Florida in 1992.

He was proud of his family and rightfully so...he never stopped giving us advice!

Richard is survived by his wife of 11 years, Joan Jones; four children, Deb (Jim) Bukrey, Sioux Falls, SD, Rich Jones, Marshall, Tx, Jeff (Shirley) Jones, Panama City Beach, Fl. and Mark Jones, Panama City Beach, Fl.; grandchildren Matt (Jaime) Bukrey, Nick (Katie) Bukrey, Andrea, Scott (Amber) and David Jones, Zach (Jennifer) Dahl, and Aaron Jones; great granddaughters Hannah Sanders, Greta, Elsa, Inga, and Karlee Bukrey, Ari and Ingrid Dahl, Lynnleigh and Addison Jones; great grandson Tucker Jones, great great grandson Hudson Valenzuela; and Joan's children, Sala (Bill) Love, and Tom (Dana) Wilkinson.  He has one sister, Nancy Walker of Red Wing, MN, nephews and nieces and many dear friends.

A Celebration of Life for Richard will be planned at a later date.
