John Richardson passed away peacefully in Calgary, Alberta on Monday, October 8, 2018 at the age of 64 years. The oldest of five, he was born in British Columbia to Roy and Margaret Richardson in 1954.
John loved being outdoors, running, cycling, playing golf in the summer and skiing in the winter. He touched many teachers’ and students’ lives during his 35 years teaching and coaching with the Calgary Board of Education. He was known to everyone as a guy you could always count on.
John was married for 33 years and will be dearly missed by his wife Joyce (nee Kornfeld), his son Kyle and daughter and son-in-law Heather and Marcello Kuenzler. John will be fondly remembered by Marty & Christie Richardson; Daryl & Marg Richardson; Sue & Russ Ostertag, his Kornfeld family, and extended family in Manitoba. John was predeceased by both his parents and his sister Dolores Ross.
A Celebration of John’s Life will be held at Hope Lutheran Church, 3527 Boulton Rd NW, Calgary, Alberta Saturday October 27, 2018 at 2:00 pm.
