Dutch was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Theresa Richardson, with whom he shared 52 years of marriage. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his two children, Christopher Richardson and Christina Mayes (Shawn), two grandchildren, Lauren Emily and Carter Michael, who brought him immense joy and pride, and his brother, Keith Richardson.
Dutch proudly served in the United States Marine Corps before continuing his career as a paint technician for Hobart's and Emerson through the years.
Dutch was passionate about race cars and hot rods, often spending time in the garage or at the racetrack. He also enjoyed unwinding with a good murder mystery or by watching Judge Judy.
He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, integrity, and a deep love for his family.
A private service will be held in honor of Ronald's life, with the family requesting that in lieu of flowers, donations can be directed to the Alzheimer's Association.
Dutch’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
