I worked with Mr. Richardson at Eastern State Hospital and he always had a friendly smile for all who came in contact with him. He enjoyed his work and did an outstanding job and helped many people, both staff and patients. I extend my sympathies to the family.

To Minister Gwen and family,
We all are going to miss Minister George and how he truly was a servant of God and to His people. There was nothing that George wouldn't do for anyone. Indeed He now resides with our Heavenly Father; a place we all aspire to be! Just know that the Butler family is here for you and your family. We will continue to lift you all up in prayer for strength and comfort. May the peace of God keep you now and forever more. Love you.
