Thomas W. Richardson    “beloved father, son, and brother”

COUDERSPORT---Thomas W. “Tom” Richardson, 51, of Coudersport, PA, formerly of Ardentown, DE, passed away unexpectedly in his home on Sunday, October 1, 2017.

Born on September 2, 1966 in Chester, PA, he was the son of William L. Richardson, Sr. and Marie L. Kindt Richardson. On September 25, 1988, he married Janet L. Wilson Richardson, who passed away on June 6, 2013.

He attended Garnet Valley High School in Concordville, PA. and was employed as a tank truck driver for several years until retiring due to health reasons.

Tom was the president of the Resident Committee at the Mapleview Apartments and was the “self-appointed” decorator for each season.  He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and stress-relieving art therapy. Tom was a kind man who would often drive his fellow neighbors to doctor’s appointments or to go shopping.  His greatest joy in life was making others happy and being with his beloved family, including his dog Hollie.

Thomas is survived by his mother, Marie L. “Dolly” Richardson of Coudersport, PA; two daughters, Renee Kurten of Media, PA, and Amber Richardson of Ardentown, DE; a son, Thomas W. Richardson, Jr.; a brother, William L. (Linda) Richardson of Twin Oaks, PA; a sister, Kate M. (Jeffrey) Reynold of Roulette, PA; grandchildren, Leeann and Seanna Forbes; and several nieces and nephews.
