Guilbert Melvin Jones was born June 17, 1944, in Racine, WI, the son of Guilbert K. and Lucille Melvin Jones. After high school, Gil proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. He married Bunny Dresher in 1968. They made their home in Griffin, GA where Gil worked as a jet engine mechanic until his retirement. Twenty years ago, Gil & Bunny decided to move south to Lake Seminole. Gil was Catholic by faith.

Gil was private in his ways but thoughtful in his manner. He enjoyed saltwater fishing and reading anything he could get his hands on. Gil was known for his ability to fix anything, and he always had parts in the shop. Most of his time in the shop was spent turning wood. He produced beautiful pieces that hold special meaning to the recipients. Gil was a member of the Art Guild in Bainbridge, Tallahassee Wood Turners Guild, and Dothan Wood Turners Guild.

Survivors include his wife of 54 years, Bunny Jones; his children, Teraza Campbell (Craig) of Sharpsburg, GA and Christopher Adam Jones (Jane) of Virginia; his grandchildren, Rylee, Amelia, Adam, David, Christopher, and Brendan; and his siblings, Marilyn Rudat, Bill Jones, and Russ Jones all of Wisconsin, and John E.
