Charles Luther Jones ’42

Chuck died Feb. 12, 1999, in Greenwich, Conn., after a long illness. He retired in 1986 after an outstanding career in the practice of law.

Coming to Princeton from Peabody H.S. in Pittsburgh, Chuck majored in economics and was a member of Terrace Club. Graduating with honors, he earned an LLB at Yale and joined the NYC law firm Sullivan & Cromwell. In 1952 he moved to Standard Oil of New Jersey in the legal department and was promoted to assistant general counsel in 1963. He served as the corporation's senior financial lawyer.

Always a Princetonian, Chuck was a loyal member of the class, attending reunions and mini-reunions on a regular basis. A thoughtful and caring person, he will be missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Linda; his children Charles III, Brooks, and Deborah; and by Linda's two children, Michael and Samantha. To all of them the class offers its most sincere sympathies.
