Robert “Bob” Jones always hoped he’d give back to his community. Having served the past three decades as chief executive of the Children’s Aid and Family Services (CAFS), it’s clear that he accomplished just that.

Now 62 years old, Jones is ready for a fully dedicated family life and will officially hand over the reins of CAFS to new president and CEO Jerrold Binney, a longtime board member, on Feb. 9.

“[It’s] bittersweet, you bet,” Jones said this week about his retirement. “How do you say goodbye to people you love after three decades of a dance? The volunteers, the board and the staff are a joy with whom to work. The positive energy they create and share is inspiring and healing. They are simply amazing and I will miss them dearly.
