23rd Golf Outing 2021
Benefitting Research at Memorial Sloan Kettering - Lenox Hill Brain Cancer Center
August 9, 2021 at Rumson Country Club in Rumson, New Jersey
Honoree: Bob Jones
We are very glad to be honoring a great man and friend Bob Jones who passed away last summer from a long arduous battle against Merkel Cell Carcinoma. A tremendous human being and loved by all who knew him. Bob was a big supporter of our charity for the last 10years and served on our golf outing committee. He would always get his friends involved and get people to come to our annual event. He knew what battles cancer patients go through and knew how important it was to get studies published to help doctors worldwide treat their patients with the newest techniques. Bob was a patient of Memorial Sloan Kettering and developed great long time friendships with his doctors there because that was Bob. He loved his home club Rumson CC and it was always because of the people and membership of Rumson CC. Please come to the event this year and honor Bob and his family.
Here is a little about Bob's success in life and in his career.
Bob married his high school sweetheart Sharon and they had 4 children and eight grandchildren that he adored. If you would ask Bob what he was most proud of in his life, this would be it. However, he had a tremendous business career. In the summer of 1965, Bob began his 42 year career with AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (formerly The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the U.S.). Bob spent half of his career in the field as an advisor, District Manager and Agency Manager and spent the other half in Headquarters in Marketing and Retail Operations. His most recent position was as Executive Vice President, Head of Retail and Chairman of AXA Advisors. In this position, Bob had overall responsibility for the management of the company's retail field force, including its 6,000 financial professionals and 54 branch offices nationwide and in Puerto Rico. He earned his CLU designation in 1971, his ChFC degree in 1982 and completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard's Graduate School of Business in 1987. Bob was president of the Pittsburgh Life Underwriters, President of the Agency Round Table, a Board Member of the LUTC, President of Equitable's Management Association and a member of the Million Dollar Roundtable.
Bob was a Trustee Emeritus of Gettysburg College, was a board member of the Riverview Medical Center Foundation, served on the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, and the U.S.O. of Metropolitan New York. Bob was a member of the Pittsburgh Field Club, where he served as a board member from 1980-1984. He was a member of the Rumson Country Club, where he served as a board member from 2000-2006, and President from 2003-2006. Bob served on the Sailfish Point Foundation, the Sailfish Point Golf Board and the Sailfish Point Marina Board. He was also a member of the Medalist Golf Club and the Stone Harbor Golf Club.

Win was born in Linwood, New Jersey, the son of Winfield J. and Mary E. Boileau. Win was a part of many firsts in the town of Linwood, including: the first Cub Scout Baseball Team, the first Linwood Little League, the first Junior League Football Team, the First Mainland Regional High School Football Team, Basketball and Baseball team and the Quarterback of the first and only undefeated football team to be inducted into the Mainland Regional Athletic Hall of Fame (1962). He graduated from Wake Forest University in 1967 where he earned a B.A. in psychology, was one of the only “Yankees” to become a member of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity, and played Football for the Demon Deacons with Brian Piccolo.
After graduating from college, Win joined the United States Air force where he became a Captain. One of his greatest accomplishments was “having one less landing than takeoff” as he survived ejecting from his Cessna T-37 a.k.a. the “Tweetiebird” in the summer of 1972. Additionally, as a Captain, Win was selected to lead all the foreign students attending pilot training at Craig Air Force Base. In that leadership role, Win was honored by the city of Selma, Alabama for community service and was presented the keys to the city. The summer before joining the Air Force, Win was snared by his belt buckle while walking through Maloney’s Bar in Margate, NJ; what caught him was a feisty little blonde from the Main Line. Win and Ginny were married in January of 1968 and spent their honeymoon in Vermont (so Win could get in some ski time on the mountain). In 1973, Win moved his family to Rumson, NJ which would be his home for 35 years and the scene of an innumerable number of gatherings with family and friends (some of which he wasn’t aware of until turning down the driveway at 64 Buena Vista).
He began his career on Wall Street at A.G. Becker, as an investment banker to the mortgage industry, but spent most of his career at Salomon Brothers where he perfected his “working retirement”, turning clients into life long friends with whom he shared some of his fondest moments skiing and golfing. He played Augusta National so many times that he parred or birdied every hole on the course.
The last couple of years, he took on the job of being the best Pop Pop ever, picking up “his girls” from school whenever he had the chance. Time with family and friends is what he cherished most and during these times, he never missed the opportunity to share a story, no matter how long it took him to tell it.
His family would like to take the opportunity to thank you for participating in the golf tournament in his honor. A portion of the funds raised will be designated to help grow the Lennox Hill Brain Tumor Center in New York, along with Memorial Sloan Kettering Memorial Hospital.
