Kenneth and family:
I was deeply saddened to learn of your father's passing. It is truly a rare blessing for one to enjoy such a long and full life, though it makes it hard to say goodbye to someone who has always been there. Please know that you are in my thoughts at this time.

Dr. Richardson was a very special man. While I was going to Florence/Darlington Technical College I had the pleasure of training under him and his faithful Dental assistant Rhonda. He loved his profession and spending time with his patients. He had a very positive impact on my life and I will always treasure the wonderful memories I have of him. Dr. Richardson will never be forgotten.

Dr. Richardson , was my Dentist for many years. He was a very good Dentist, he had friendly staff, as well. Sorry for your loss, prayers for family.
