David Jones, a businessman who served as the mayor of Wilmington from 1999 to 2001, died Sunday.
Louise McColl, a longtime Wilmington political operative who ran Jones campaign for mayor in 1999, called Jones a great friend in a post on her Facebook page, and a compassionate, caring, family man. I loved to drop by his office and listen to his stories about life and success, McColl wrote. Always involved in our community and state and never asking back for anything.
Jones owned a financial investment company, David L. Jones Investments, and was vice president of a chain of Pawn USA pawn shops owned by his son. Jones was also a former secretary of the N.C. Department of Correction.
