David Richardson

He was born in Albuquerque NM, on Feb. 21st, 1954. He obtained his Bachelors in Science from the University of New Haven.

On June 10th, 1978 at St. Agnes Church in Niantic, CT, he was united in marriage to Barbara Tashash. David worked as the Vice President of Murphy & Beane in New London, CT until the time of his passing.

When not at work, David enjoyed camping, fishing, grilling on a charcoal grille, building and woodworking, manicuring his lawn and gardens, playing cards with friends, corn hole tournaments, and driving his Corvette with other club members, and playing with his four-legged best friend, Gracie. Time with family was important and camping was just one way he’d bring everyone together. New acquaintances of David’s skipped over being a stranger moving on to becoming a friend he’d do anything for just that quickly. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

David is survived by his wife Barbara, his mother, Carol Scaletti, daughters; Michelle (Mikey) Pierce, Katelyn Richardson, his brother Tom, three grandchildren; Olivia and Tyler Pierce, and Mason Poitras, several brother and sister-in-laws, and many, many friends. He was predeceased by his step-father Andy Scaletti.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, March 6th from 5pm-8pm at the Church & Allen Funeral Home, 136 Sachem St., Norwich, CT. A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, March 7th at 11am at the funeral home. Burial will be private at the convenience of the family.

Flowers will be gladly accepted.
