Robert Lamar Jones  son of the late Alice Dozier Jones and Robert Snell, Jr. was born on May 11, 1968.  “Big Rob” as he was affectionately known  was later reared by his loving God parents, the late Mary Glass and Larry Glass. 

He graduated from Randolph/Clay High School, class of 1987. He worked diligently as Master Barber, Little Rob Snack Shack, Owner/Operator of Hill-Hill Billards, Dothan, AL.  He had a successful career as a Truck Driver for 20+ years.  Those who knew him outside of his professions will remember him as compassionate, civilized, warmly receptive man with gentle manners.

He taught many and they were better because of it.
