Lemuel David Jones, III “Dave” died on May 3, 2021 of noncovid lung disease. He was 79, born on September 6, 1941. He is survived by his wife, Martha Wilcher Roberts, his daughter Jenny Somosky, his grandsons Stephen and Michael, and great grandsons Cooper and Reid. He was preceded in death by his father Lemuel David Jones, Jr., his mother, Miriam Grace Gilbert Jones Snyder and his son Lemuel David Jones, IV, “Lenny”, who tragically drowned in 1986.
Born in the era of hot rods and shade tree mechanics, Dave grew up passionate about cars and fascinated with internal combustion engines. At 15 he was working in gas stations all around his hometown of District Heights, Maryland, absorbing the lore and learning the intricacies of auto mechanics. After a brief stint at the Washington Navy Yard, he began a long career at the Naval Research Lab as a technician teamed up with a group of scientists. If they could design it, Davey could make it. He retired from NRL in 1995 to a quiet life in Woodbridge, Virginia with his wife Martha. (Earlier marriages to June Folsom and Janet Butler had ended in divorce.)
