Richard F Jones

He will be remembered for his funny sayings and his handlebar mustache. He loved chocolate candy and any kind of ice cream. Devoted to his Buckeyes. If you were coming to see him you knew not to wear maize and blue, or to mention the state up north.

He enjoyed having lunch with the Romeos on Thursdays.
