He could be found many afternoons at local senior citizens centers where he enjoyed many card games, but especially dominos. He and his wife were members of the Fairview Assembly of God for many years.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Everett and Grace.
He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Mary, his son David Richerson and wife Pam of Amarillo, his brother Bruce Richerson and wife Patty of South Carolina, his sister Maurice Hartelode of Michigan, two grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and four great-great grandchildren.
