Obituary of Albert E. Richardson

Albert E. Richardson passed peacefully on July 3, 2022.  He shared 81 years of love and faith with his family.  Visitation will be on Sunday, July 10^th from 2-6 pm. A Funeral Service will be held on Monday, July 11^th at 10 am at the funeral home.  Donations in his memory may be made to the good work of the American Cancer Society or the Alzheimer’s Association.

Albert was born in Brooklyn to the late Robert and Emma (nee Eisenhauer) Richardson.  He was one of three children to bless the family.  After his schooling, he enlisted in the US Army proudly serving our country.  Upon his honorable discharge he married Anita Gagnon in -Brooklyn, NY, 1962.  Soon, they settled in Denville NJ and started a family of their own.  Al worked hard to provide a good life for his children. He was employed with UPS out of Manhattan for nearly three decades.   As the kids grew, he and Anita found more time to enjoy golfing and other activities.  They headed to Arizona to retire in 1989.  Sadly, Anita passed not long after. Al stayed in Arizona and tinkered as he always had.  He was an exceptional mechanic and his hands could fix anything.  He even rebuilt a 1932 American LeFrance Fire Engine in his hay day.   As the years went on, he was crowned the title of Poppy and was so proud of all the kids.  In 2021 he moved back to NJ to be closer to his family.  Although we are saddened by his passing we take comfort in knowing he is at peace and watching from the 9^th hole once again.

He leaves his daughters Susan Richardson, Karen Sikes (Donald) and Andrea Harris (Michael); his grandchildren Jacob, Beatrice, Anna, Mikayla, Ruby, Jesse and Wyatt; and many dear relatives, neighbors and friends. His wife Anita and his siblings Rosemary Moore and Robert Richardson passed previously.
