Barney RICHARDSON Obituary

RICHARDSON, Barney T.

10/23/1924 - 1/27/2021

Barney T. Richardson, went home to be with the Lord, at the age of 96. Born in

Kentucky, Barney served in U.S. Army during World War II, earning three Bronze Stars for his heroic efforts. Following his military service, Barney settled in Dayton, Ohio, where he was a dedicated family man and committed leader at his local church. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Mary Elizabeth, and son, Tim Richardson. Barney is survived by

children, Dianne Davis, Marcia Lyons, Larry Richardson, Barry

Richardson, Barney Richardson Jr, and Deborah Richardson, as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, some of whom he raised as his own. His latter years were spent in central Ohio under the

loving care of Steve Shelton, who he raised as a son, and

devoted granddaughter, Samantha Vargo. A private service will be held for the family later this spring.

He was my Dad and I miss him so much! He raised his children to love the lord and he never gave up.He was a wonderful man and he deserved the best that the lord had to offer.I still wake up every day and think about calling him and it hurts but I know he was a man of God and he’s in Paradise with my Mother and he’s not in pain anymore. I miss you Daddy and I love you so much but I will see you again you were the best man I ever knew Thank you for loving me!
