William Richards Obituary
William Eudoise Richards, III, 61, of Struthers, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at his home.
Born January 16, 1963, in Youngstown, he was a son of the late William E., II and Carol (Lucus) Richards.
William was a graduate of Poland Seminary High School. He spent many years being involved with the Carnival Glass Association where he worked as an auctioneer and showed off his expertise on the many pieces that were presented to him.
You could often find him kicking back and cheering on his favorite football teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ohio State. His two sons were always his pride and joy, he cherished every moment he got to spend with them and his granddaughter.
He is survived by his two sons, Nathan Richards, of Struthers, and Zachary Richards, of Struthers; his granddaughter, Adrian Richards; three sisters; many nieces and nephews; and great nieces and nephews.
In keeping with his wishes, there will be no services at this time.
In honor of William’s love for animals, memorial contributions may be made in his name to New Lease on Life, 2773 E Midlothian Blvd, Struthers, OH 44471.
Arrangements are being handled by Davidson-Becker Funeral Home.

What can I say about Billy? He was the man with the big smile for all, the man with great hugs, the man who would call and say "hey, I have a piece of glass you might want"and a great friend who always cared. Loved him like a son and he knew it. He deeply loved his family and his friends. Billy you will be missed. Max & wally
