Sean Richardson

Sean passed away on March 26, 2025 peacefully at the Halifax Infirmary at age 72 surrounded by family. He was a wonderful brother, uncle and friend.

Born January 27,1953 in Halifax, he was the son of the late George and Kathleen (Hoyne) Richardson. He grew up in South End Halifax, attending St. Francis Elementary and St .Patrick’s High School. He graduated from St. Mary’s University with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree. His SMU ring was a prized possession.

He had a life-long interest in cars, and especially enjoyed his Triumph Spitfires and was a member of the British Car Club. His interest in cars led to his career as automotive manager at Woolco. Later in life, he worked in Stores at Irving Shipyard, he retired from there. He collected coins and enjoyed a good flea market. He had a boat for many years and loved sailing in the Halifax Harbour. He enjoyed taking friends and family on local drives. His red truck always stopped at Eastern Passage Boardwalk and Point Pleasant Park.

He had a great pride in his Irish heritage and enjoyed learning new things on his computer.

He lived in his big house on Pleasant St, Dartmouth for forty years. He finally sold his house last year and moved into Fort Clarence Seniors Apartments. He loved his apartment and all the wonderful folks he met in the building.

Over the years he had some wonderful cats- Bootsie, Carmel, Pumpkin and Tigger. His latest family feline is Tigger.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff on 6.1 and 6.4 heart floor of the hospital, for their kindness and care, especially Dr. Sapp.
