Richard B. Jones

Richard Brady Jones went to rest in God's arms after a 16 year battle with Scleroderma. His beloved family grieves his loss, his wife, the former Marcia Gallo Jones, his children Melanie Jones and Richard-Tyler Jones, both of New Castle, his grandchildren Marlee Jones and Tres Hill, and his best friend, Casey the family dog. He is also survived by his sisters, Laurie Jones and Marcie DeLillo both of New Castle as well as three nephews, two nieces and one great nephew. Richard's passion was his family. He was a loving, caring and dedicated husband, father and PaPa. Before Scleroderma took away his ability to enjoy his hobbies, he was an avid hunter and fisherman. He loved to garden and was also a great cook and was able to enjoy both during his illness. He was employed at Mesta Machine, Universal Rundell and Keebler Cookie Company. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends as Richard was a kind man with great integrity. He was preceded in death by his father Harry Jones, his mother Ann Slaman Jones and his precious grandson Michael Amir Crafton.
