It's been 7 long years there are so many good times and memories that I have dear friend. I remember your wife and you were selling dinners. This was before you guys got married I ended up coming over. To pick up my dinners as well as meeting Mr. and Mrs. Boykin and Falon. I had such a good time sitting in the garage talking about life and drinking beer. With J.B. and his Dad. We both worked with one another for years on the Trump boat. He was an all around good brother smart as hell with so much untapped potential. You are truly missed my brother. Now you are at home with your heavenly father. Your brother and friend, Henry Richardson.

It's neen 3 hard, very hard years without you. I am truly still missing you greatly. My heart is still so heavy. I think about you every day.
Most situations I wonder and ponder asking and imagining if James was here...... but you are not here. I love you just as if you were here. I'll always love you now and forever my son! Truly gone too soon!!!! Until we meet again!

I was thinking about James the other day. How he was always there and one of the best friends a person could have. My birthday will never be the same since your passing. I will always remember that smile and how you could work a nerve. I am better for meeting you and will always miss you JB.

James will be forever missed.

I still cannot believe this man is gone. James was considered on of my best friends back in the day. We shared over 22 years of friendship and I loved him dearly. We didn't always get along but never stayed upset with one another for too long. Anytime you called James, he would be right there with that smile. I will miss him so much and no amount of tears will bring him back.I pray that God will give his wife and entire family peace.
