Richardson, Gordon Lee, age 76, of Clio, passed away Sunday, August 5, 2012 at McLaren Regional Medical Center in Flint. Funeral services will be held at First Baptist Church of Mt. Morris at 800 Louisa Street on Wednesday August 8 at 1:00 p.m., Pastor Mark Conn officiating. The family will receive visitors at O'Guinn Family Funeral Home in Clio on Tuesday August 7 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and at the church on August 8 from 11:00 a.m. until the time of the service. Burial will be in Great Lakes National Cemetery at 9:30 AM Thursday. Gordon was born in Clio on January 15, 1936, the son of Claude (Todd) and Margaret Richardson. He attended Clio Schools, playing on the championship football team in 1951 and graduating in 1954. He married his loving wife of 55 years, Carole (Smith) Richardson, on September 21, 1957. Gordon retired as a Sergeant First Class E7 after serving in the Michigan National Guard for 28 1/2 years. He worked at CSX Railroad for 42 years and was a member of First Baptist Church of Mt. Morris. Gordon was an avid hunter, fisherman, golfer, and overall sports fanatic. He adored his sons, enjoying many years as an assistant youth football coach alongside Craig and countless rounds of golf with Cary. Through winters in Florida, summers at Camp Grayling and falltime spent at the hunting property, Gordon lived life to the fullest and was a stranger to no one. He will be sadly missed by: wife Carole; sons, Craig and Cary (Sheri) Richardson; grandchildren, Joshua, Ashley and Cameron; great grandchildren, Hunter and Emma; mother, Margaret Richardson; sisters, Phyllis Kaufmann and Diane (Bill) Blakely; and many more close and loving family and friends, including his K-9 best friends Blaire and Izzy. Gordon was preceded in death by his father Claude Richardson. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the First Baptist Church of Mt. Morris or the charity of your choice. |
