I give my deepest condolences and earnest prayers Poyo's family.  His kindness, humor, and very presence will always be missed, and I will ever be thankful to God that I was able to be blessed with a friend of his caliber for the short years that I have.  Thank you for sharing him. Peace, Blessings, and Much Love.

Please  accept  my deepest sympathy.  JOSEPH LEON (POYO) RICHARDS will always be in my prayers.

LaTonia,Sharon and Family,

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14:1-3

May the bereaved family of Mr. Richards, be comforted by looking forward to a end to all causes of death and the heartaches it brings. You have my utmost sympathies.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

We are praying for you in the loss of "our beloved Poyo".  May the God of Grace continue to comfort and sustain you.  We loved Poyo so very much! Remember God will never leave nor forsake you...HE is a very present help in the time of need.  HIS servants.  James and Shirley Elmore, Coldspring, TX
