Donald Kinney Richardson passed from this life into eternity on August 28, 2019. He was born on February 18, 1943, to Donald Longino Richardson and Nell Kinney Richardson of Tallulah, LA. He graduated from Tallulah High School in 1961 and Louisiana Tech in 1969. He married his college girlfriend and love of his life, Janet Sturdivant, on August 19, 1967. They celebrated their 52nd anniversary earlier this month. Kinney and Janet had two children, Anne Leigh Richardson (Shane Paris) and Jon Longino Richardson (Melanie). He had three grandsons, Logan, Evan and Ethan. He is also survived by his sister, Ellen Richardson Lever (Frank).
He was a retired banker and federal contractor. He was an Eagle Scout and an active member of North Monroe Baptist Church. He was in the Jaycees and loved coaching little league baseball. Although he had impaired vision for many years, he never missed “watching” his Tech Bulldogs in all sports.
The family wants to thank the wonderful care and attention that his doctors, the late Dr. David Burkett, Dr. Mark Napoli and Dr. Charles Morgan, provided for the last 14 years.
