John Arthur Richardson's Obituary
RICHARDSON, JOHN ARTHUR Age 78, passed away Friday November 16, 2012 at his boyhood home in Napoleon. He is survived by his three children, Mike, Phillip and Renee; and his wife, Nanci. John was preceded in death by his parents, Guy and Virginia; brothers, Phillip and Joe. He was an electrical engineer by trade, but in life, he was a jack of all trades. His brilliant mind could build anything that could be put on paper and his best work can be seen on the farm in which he lived. He was a loving, kind and generous man who enjoyed nothing more than mowing the lawn on his farm, fixing up his place, driving his truck down the lane and working on the next big project. He was honorable to his commitments to others and he always honored his word. Those who knew him loved him dearly and appreciated his dry sense of humor and artistic abilities. Despite his wonderful talents and gifts, he was a simple man who was honest to the core and who was always willing to help when others were in need. Make no mistake; his presence will be terribly missed! Private services have been held at Oak Grove Cemetery in Napoleon.
