Richard "Richie" Alexander Jones

Richard "Richie" Alexander Jones, of Philadelphia/Hatboro, Pennsylvania, was born on June 11, 1985 in Philadelphia. Richie passed away from the Disease of Addiction at the age of age 33 on June 20, 2018, in Philadelphia. He was the first son and is survived by his loving parents, Retired Philadelphia Police Lieutenant Richard Jones and Registered Nurse Elaine J. (McCann) Jones; two brothers, Michael J. Jones, Sr. (Olivia) and Andy Sideris (Maria); sisters, Jennifer Jones and Amanda T. Jones; six nieces, Mia, Karah, Annalyse, Gianna, Aubrey, and Jocelyn; four nephews, Liam, Jovanni, Dillon, and Michael; and his Aunt Demetra Sideris "Aunt Dee Jones" (Jennifer and Andy's mother). Richie was a Boy Scout and altar boy growing up, attended St. Dominic's grade school and graduated from Upper Moreland High School. His hobbies and interests included spending time with his family and friends, carpentry, remodeling, drawing, baseball, boxing, reading, going to Doo Wop shows with his dad, lifting weights, and cutting hair. Richie was very charismatic and witty. He could make anyone laugh even on their worse days. He would walk around singing Elvis and impersonating Jim Carrey ad nauseam, take the blame for breaking TV's, and have catches in the back yard. Although he had his struggles and could definitely drive you crazy, he had a warm heart and often expressed how deeply he cared for this family. His mother and father, who meant the world to him, never gave up or lost faith. You could see the love and affection for our family in his eyes. Richie will be sorely missed by many.
