Honoring a legend! Such a joy to celebrate and preserve the vast accomplishments of the best human being I have ever met. Spending the morning with Itch’s family is a memory I will cherish forever.
Humbled and honored for Gina and I to be recognized with the Honorary Alumni Award from the University of Illinois Alumni Association last week. This university means so much to us, and we are incredibly appreciative to be part of such an incredible community here at Illinois.

We lost a Legend. I lost my mentor. As a former player and coach I have been blessed to have had Itch in my life for 40 years. He was a true champion. I would not be where I am today without his guidance. A second father and the best human I have ever been around.

Few coaches developed more lifetime relationships or had the impact on his players and colleagues as the legendary Richard C. “Itch” Jones.
Our love and thoughts are with his family.
