Dear Richardson Family...
I am so sorry to hear the news about Joe, He was a great friend for many years. Always remember the laughter, funny stories about all of his family and friends..he was a very proud daddy of his children & grandchild, everytime I saw Joe he had a story to tell know matter how small or large the story was he had a smile on his face. It's such a sad day knowing that your love one is no longer with us on earth,,,but just knowing that you will have a guardian angel know will bring you some piece to your hearts. Prayers go out to you Phyllis,kids,Randy and family. So sorry I was unable to make the services..May God bless you all through this sad time.

Richardon Family
I hired on with Joel at Dupont and got the pleasure on being on the same unit with him. I didnt realize that you can really get to know someone well when you work with them 12 hrs a day but thats what happened. We became good friends right off the bat. Every morning we would walk in the gate together and every day at quitin time we would walk out. This morning was a tuff walk all alone with a tear runnin down my face, the walk out wasnt much better. I never dreamed wednesday would of been my last day working with him. He was young and full of life. We talked about going fishing thursday but he txt me and said he couldnt make it. We walked out wednesday and he rode off on his chopper. I didnt find out about this till sunday night at 9. I feel terrible i didnt get to make visitation or the funneral. I lost a real friend and buddy. I only knew him for 2 months but he touched my life in so many ways. Phyllis that bannana puddin and piemento cheese sandwhich was so good. If there is anything i can do in this time of need please let me know. i miss my buddy. The world lost a great man but heaven gained an amazing angel
