A lifelong educator, he began his career as a teacher in Clark County School District until he became a principal at R. Guild Grey Elementary School. In 1988, he was offered a position with The Meadows School, which he accepted, and he worked tirelessly, ultimately becoming the Headmaster of the School in 1992, a position he held until his retirement in 2005.

He is preceded in death by his parents, William and Pat Richardson, as well as his son William’s mother, Kathleen Houlihan (Richardson). He is survived by his son, William Richardson (Skyler), his brother Stephen Richardson (Carol), his sisters Janan McCreery (Thomas), Mary Ellen Britt (Kevin), and Denise Hawkins (Patrick), six nephews, five nieces, and many great nephews and great nieces.
