In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, William and a sister, Carolyn. Gary is survived by his three children, Erica, Hannah and Duke Richardson; two grandchildren, Blayze and Eleanor Dial; two sisters, Darlene McGoldrick and Marilyn Richardson and her son, Dustin and a brother, Larry Richardson and his two children, Nathaniel and Ashley.

A celebration of his life will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 308 Oak Manor Drive, Glen Burnie, MD 21061.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions in Gary's name to School Lunch Fairy.

So sorry to hear about Gary passing. We went thru school together and although I didn't see him much after that, when we did connect it was like no time had passed at all. He always had a wonderful sense of humor. I'm sad to not see him again and will keep his friends and family in my thoughts.

Rest In Peace, Dear Friend
