Continue ReadingJeffrey Howard Richards, 66, of Port Charlotte, Florida passed away peacefully after a short illness on Sunday, February 21, 2021, with his family by his side.
He was born November 15, 1954 in Portsmouth, N.H. to Walter and Dorothy Richards. He was a compassionate and kind man whose passion for life was shared with whomever he met. He loved “running away” on travel adventures, playing golf, boating, and watching hockey, all with his family and friends. Jeffrey has been a real estate agent in the Port Charlotte area for the last 18 years, touching many people’s lives and making amazing friends through a profession that he enjoyed to the utmost.
Jeffrey leaves behind a legacy of a life well-lived to his loving wife of 44 years, Betty-Jo Richards of Port Charlotte, Florida and Gilford, NH; his beloved son Adam Richards and wife Dalaina (Buffum) of Rochester, NH; cherished daughter Corilyn Tessier and husband Michael of Gilford, NH; and will always be remembered as “Bampy” by the light of his life, granddaughter Reagan. He will be greatly missed by sister Sharon Shea and husband Keith Shea of Stamford, CT; sisters Debra Richards of Portsmouth, NH and Lori Smith of Deerfield, NH; dearest niece and nephews.
A family memorial service will be held in New Hampshire in the spring. He proudly and enthusiastically supported St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital of Memphis.
Friends may visit online at www.robersonfh.com to extend condolences to the family. Arrangements are by Roberson Funeral Homes & Crematory, Port Charlotte Chapel.

I didn't know Jeff well, but he was fun and relaxed to golf with on Saturday morning.
I pick up mail for a charity, and once had a huge load of packages to take to the car. As I put the first load in the back seat, there stood Jeff with the rest. I hadn't even seen him inside, but he saw me and came the my aid. What a guy! What a loss.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Meeting Jeff and buying our first home from him here, we were so impressed by his kind nature. After our choppy and wet boat ride to dinner, we had many great times with him and B.J.
Our hearts go to B.J. and her family after learning of this last week. We will see you again, dear friend, on more peaceful waters. Blessings to you and your family

I’ll always remember being in your wedding...such a fun time. But I think the best was the Spring Hill class reunion when our liquor bottles smashed in the back of the red Porsche on our way there.
You two were so Blessed to have one another ! Love and hugs to you my dear friend.
