Floyd (Pete) Richardson Obituary Floyd "Pete" Wayne Richardson, age 92 of Pulaski, Va died Monday, October 7, 2024
at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Pete was born in Sylvatus, Va on July 15, 1932
the son of the late Aaron and Elsa (Lewis) Richardson. He met his "sweetheart" of 73
years, G. Juanita (Craig) Richardson at Pulaski High School and they graduated together
in the Class of 1949. Pete continued his education, graduating from Bluefield Business
College in 1951. Pete and Juanita were married on June 8, 1951. He then served his
country during the Korean War as a Sergeant with the U. S. Army in the 11th Airborne
at Ft. Campbell, Ky and later at the Engineer Center in Ft. Belvoir, Va. In November of
1954 Pete began his career as a civilian with the Army, working in Logistics
Management and later as a supervisor, retiring after thirty years. Upon retiring Pete
and Juanita moved from Arlington, Va back to Pulaski, Va. They joined Memorial
Baptist church where Pete faithfully served as Deacon for many years. In addition
to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved son Mark Wayne Richardson
and older brother Aaron Bruce Richardson. He is survived by his devoted wife
Gleavy Juanita (Craig) Richardson, daughter in law Pamela (Belcher) Ross, along with
nieces, nephews, and cousins. Pete was dearly loved and cherished by his family
and friends for his thoughtfulness, his generous nature, and his compassion. He
practiced kindness and charity to others daily, a true Christian who "walked the walk."
