We are so sorry to hear about the death of Rich. I know what beautiful music you made together, in many more ways than one! We certainly will miss his being at Chautauqua. We hold you and Christiane and Jesse in our prayers!

I was very sorry to hear of Rich's passing away. A longtime friend whom I grew up with in grade school and high school but had not seen in quite a while. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
A great guy who the world will miss.

Chris,
Larry and I were so sad to hear of Richard's passing. You are both such a wonderful part of the cultural richness that is Chautauqua. Had we known, we would have come to the service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Love, Signe and Larry White(Dahlonega,GA)

I am a cabaret singer in Atlanta and Rich added so much to my band....whether it was a small trio or larger group of musicians, Robert Strickland, my musical director, always chose the best, and Rich was at the top of our list for every gig. My thoughts and prayers are with Rich's family and friends.

We will miss Rich so very, very much. He was the heart and soul of the 9:45 Jazz Service at Redeemer, and he spread God's word with his music every Sunday. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this sad time.

Many years ago, Rich Jones provided lessons to each of my twin daughters, in middle school. It was then, they gained a valued skill of sight reading, although not the original intent of the lessons. Over time my girls gained a deeper appreciation of his skill of playing along and transposing on the fly, while demonstrating the correct sound and technique. Throughout all this he never was impatient nor short with their accomplishments. In the end, one of these girls obtained a scholarship...

Rodger and I were shocked to learn of Rich's passing. We have such fond memories--establishing the STM band, leading horses at kids' birthday parties & being in the pit at every show in town. We listen to our Gentle Rain CDs and think of you all.-Liz, Rodger, Claire & Catherine Brown
