Richard Norwood Obituary
Growing up, Richard was an A/B honor roll student year after year, winning spelling bees and oratorical contests. He moved to Atlanta where he ultimately became a skilled electrician. When he had free time, he could always be counted on to be at a cafe enjoying breakfast.
He left this Earth knowing many loved him and is survived by: Richard Norwood Sr (father), Betty Newkirk (mother), his daughter Janiyah Hill (whom he loved dearly and was a daddy's girl), brothers (Ronald D. Hammie, Jr & Jeremiah Norwood), sisters (Taneisha Newkirk & Lynroia Norwood) along with a host of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Private services were held in Atlanta, Ga and the family asks that he be remembered for the great person he was.
