Thomas Robert Jones was born on April 14, 1949, the fourth of what would be eleven Jones children. One day, his sister Susan brought her friend Christine Faupl over to the Jones house and it was love at first site, at least on his part. After straightening him out, Chris eventually succumbed to his charms and they recently celebrated 40 years of marriage. As an attorney, Tom spent over three decades representing those on the margins of society. A sensitive and emphatic man, he's taught his two children the importance of second chances and the power of persisting through life's many challenges one step at a time.
