Following his military retirement, LD worked in several civilian jobs as well as being self-employed. After the death of his first wife, Sarah, he moved to San Antonio, TX and married his high school classmate Dorothy Duggan Hudgins. LD and Dot were members of the SonShine singing group where they enjoyed traveling and performing at nursing homes and other care facilities. They were members of the First United Methodist Church of Boerne. One of LD's greatest pleasures was feeding "his" deer at their Boerne residence. Proceeded in death by his parents, first wife, and siblings Walter, Kenneth, Bennie, and Norma. LD is survived by his wife, Dorothy. Children, Mac, Fenner and Elsie Richardson. Step-children, Tom Hudgins (Catherine), Joe Hudgins (Marcia), and Cindy Zook (Craig). Several Grandchildren, Great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
