James "Jr" Richards

Rosemary, on behalf of the Barbeau's in Ludlow, I was thinking of Jim today and found this link. Jim was my older brother's (Tom) math teacher at Ludlow Jr.High, and my plate umpire on more than several occasions. It was always interesting conversation after Mass talking baseball in the St. John's parking lot. He and my Father can now talk baseball to their heart's content, agreeing to disagree. My Heartfelt sympathy to you, your daughters and their families, your 1st Grade student at...

A year already. Jim was a great guy. Prayers for his brother Brian and for all of his family. XXOO

So sorry to hear of JR´s passing. He will be missed, . He was always so friendly and happy it was a pleasure to be in his company. Rest in peace.

Fond memories of a great human being. I was crushed at one point, and he gave me advice I carried with me to this day. Lasting impact on my life and will miss him terribly.

Regrettably, I learned of JR's passing just a couple of days ago. My memories of JR are all positive and pleasant. I respected him as a former colleague and sincere friend. My times with JR were always well spent. May God bless JR, Rosemary, and his entire family.

I had Jim as a math teacher and guidance counselor. He was also a baseball umpire. A truly gracious and nice man. He will be missed. I also had his wife as a first grade teacher, and I still remember her grace and kindness. My very best wishes to this wonderful family at a time of grief. My message to the Richards family is this: you are great people, and will be reunited with Jim in paradise one day. May God continue to bless you.

So sorry to hear of JR´s passing. I had the pleasure of working with JR in the LHS Guidance office for many years and always enjoyed his warm personality, kindness and humor. I´m sure he will be missed by all who knew him.

My prayers are with all of you.

So sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful person. Marie Sbriscia
