Richard Toney

Richard Toney, 69, of West Haven, CT passed away on March 29, 2020 at Yale New Haven Hospital. Richard, best known as Pops, was born on November 18, 1950 to Marjorie and Leroy Toney of West Haven. 

Pops is predeceased in death by his Father, sister, and son Brian Dupree.

Pops was loved by his family and friends as he always greeted you with a smile and a hug.  He was an avid member of the car community and loved his classic cars.  Pops was the type of person that can make you laugh on the darkest days.  He will truly be missed by everyone and all the hearts he has touched.

At this time a wake and funeral will not be available.  There will be a celebration of his life in the coming future, as we plan to make him smile from Heaven down on all of us.
