William (Bill) J. Richardson
June 5, 1927 – August 5, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of William (Bill) J. Richardson on August 5, 2025, at the age of 98.
Bill was born in Brandon, Manitoba, on June 5, 1927, and grew up on a farm near Douglas, MB.
On June 30, 1951, Bill married Levina (Vi) Bannerman. Together they raised four children in Brandon: Diane, Wendy, Barry, and Ken.
He worked for many years as a Parts Manager, first with Frank Lawson and Sons and later with Countryside Equipment in Brandon. He took pride in his work and built strong, lasting relationships throughout his career.
Bill will be remembered for his steady presence, kind heart, and quiet strength. He leaves behind a loving legacy through his twelve grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren, who brought him great joy and pride.
He was predeceased by his parents, Ruth and Jim Richardson, and his brother, Norm.
A memorial service will be held at Brockie Donovan Chapel, 332 8th Street, Brandon, MB on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at 1:30 p.m.
