Larry Elliot Jones

Larry Elliot Jones, 84, of West Grove, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully at home on April 9, 2025. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend, and community member, Larry left a lasting imprint on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Born on October 13, 1940, Larry was raised on a family farm in Chester County, where he spent his youth tending cattle and riding horses. He graduated from West Nottingham Academy in 1958 and went on to earn a degree in Business Administration from Elizabethtown College. He later received his law degree from the Dickinson School of Law in 1965.

Larry spent most of his life in West Grove, becoming something of a local legend—riding his Harley-Davidson in a suit, passionately supporting the Philadelphia Eagles, and befriending nearly everyone he met. He was a true original. Known for his iconic mustache, booming laugh, and unwavering generosity, Larry had a one-of-a-kind spirit and a love for life. He loved sushi, sunbathing, desserts, and—during his younger years—long rides to Florida on his Harley, which he rode into his late 70’s.

He used his legal skills to serve others, offering pro bono work to a battered women’s shelter, supporting individuals in recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous, and quietly helping countless friends and neighbors in meaningful ways.

Even in his final months, as Lewy Body Dementia began to take its toll, Larry’s warmth, humor, and love endured. One of his final joys was watching the Eagles win the Super Bowl again this year—an unforgettable moment shared with family.

To his loved ones, he was “Dado”—a fiercely devoted father and grandfather. He is survived by his wife, Ann; his children, Elliot Jones (Mark), Jennifer Jones, Ben Jones (Sarah), Andrew Jones (Eliza), and Alexandra Jones; and his cherished grandchildren: Corrina, Annika, Liana, Elias, Adelaide, and Alpheus.

In lieu of flowers, family asks donations be made to La Mancha Animal Rescue; P.O. Box 656 Unionville PA 19375

A summer celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
