About	William David Richardson, 71, of Roanoke, Va., and Mount Pleasant, S.C., went home to his Heavenly Father on Tuesday, July 2, 2019. Left to cherish his memory is his beloved family, his wife of 41 years, Gail Warren Richardson; his son, William David Richardson II; his daughter, Anne Richardson Cason; daughter-in-law, Lauren Luden Richardson; son-in-law, Gregory Seth Cason; and the lights of his world, Campbell Renee Cason, Virginia Catherine Cason, John Warren Cason, Cora Anne Cason, William David Richardson III, Beckett James Richardson and Mary Eleanor Richardson. He was known as Bill, Dad, Daddy and Papa, and there was no better man, husband, father, grandfather and friend. Bill loved the Lord with all his heart and made sure all that knew him knew that. His kind spirit, witty personality and love for life will be missed by all. He graduated from William Byrd High School and Virginia Tech Business School. Bill was an owner of Commonwealth Medical Supply, worked for PSS Medical and retired from McKesson. After retiring from McKesson in February 2015, he immediately drove cross country with his wife in their RV. Bill loved to travel and that trip was one they cherished. He also loved to travel with his grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with his family at The Mountain Place, his special land. He was a member of the First Baptist Church Choir for 20 plus years and a member of James Island Presbyterian Church Choir for the past three years. He loved to sing and glorify God. He was preceded in death by his parents, David Eustus Richardson and Catherine Neighbors Richardson; and his brother, Pete Richardson. He is survived by sisters, Jannet Turner and Patricia Knight; brother-in-law, Ron Knight; sister-in-law, Linda Claflin and brother-in-law, Howard Claflin. The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 until 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 7, 2019, at Oakey’s Roanoke Chapel. A memorial service will be conducted at James Island Presbyterian Church, 1632 Fort Johnson Road, Charleston, SC 29412 at 11:00 A.M. on July 13, 2019 with Rev. Sam Martin officiating.
