Michael Richardson Obituary
Michael Joseph Richardson
A cherished husband, father, and friend peacefully departed us on July 29, 2023. Born on March 3, 1943 in Washington, DC to Helen and Raymond Richardson. Survived by his wife of 33 years, Sue Richardson, children, Danny (Joanne) Crow, Megan (Wendy), Samantha (Geoff), and Devon Richardson and four grandchildren. Mike leaves behind siblings, Larry and Mary, and reunites with his siblings, Dennis and Lisa. A celebration of life will be held on September 9, at Boonies Restaurant in Tyaskin, MD from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations are requested in his memory to the ACLU, which fights for the freedoms of our nation's citizens, just like Mike dedicated his life's work as an attorney up until his final days.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I am so sorry I will not be able to attend Mike's celebration of life, but another commitment keeps me away. That said, I have the fondest memories of Mike from our days at John Carroll High School and through the years at reunions, wedding celebrations, our events, and the times we spent at lunch on Kent Island. Mike had a tremendous personality, with a sharp mind, and a quick wit. I alway enjoyed his and Susie's company. I know he loved his career as a lawyer, and especially the colleagues he worked with over the years. I also know he loved his children and loved being a dad. He loved his wife, Susie, over 30 years of marriage. He will be missed by all who had the great privilege of having known him and having called him a friend. May he rest in eternal bliss!!!

Mike was one month younger than me and he never let me forget it. We have been friends since we moved to Nanticoke and joined the Lions Club. So many events and meetings we did together. He will always be an important part of my life. Until I see you again Mike, so long. Allen

I've known my friend, Mike for 20 years! He also went to the same catholic high school (Carroll) butb10 years earlier. Mike loved to have people around to entertain with his wit n colorful character! Character is the key word here! He loved to argue his point despite any opposition that he encountered! Lol.
He was also a comedian with practical jokes n off the cuff jokes which he passed on to others.
Above all Mike liked to make people feel welcome n happy
From his children that he looked after from a very young age to his wife, Susie who stood by his side for many years. I am proud to say that I am his friend n with all the great times we shared!
