Richardson, Terry (Age 75, Harriston)

Terry Richardson – It is with a heavy heart that the family of Terry Richardson, passed away peacefully at his home in Harriston on Saturday in his 76th year

Loving husband of Phyllis. Father of Mike (Judie) Richardson, Brenda (John) Baker, and Debbie (Chuck) Binkle all of Minto. Terry felt very fortunate to have all of his children live within five minutes of the family farm. Terry’s legacy will live on through his eight grandchildren; Kyle (Becky) Richardson, Kourtney Richardson (Chris Hoffele), Tawnya (Mark) Robertson, Kaitlin (Jason) Schnurr, Brittany (Lyle) Beckett, Niki (Justin Wigle), Ryan and Bradley Binkle. Nana and Papa are also grateful for eleven great grandchildren and counting.

Terry is the son of the late Thomas and Vera Richardson, and will be fondly remembered by his brothers, Bill (Iris) Richardson, John (Joanne) Richardson, and his sister Joan Richardson.

Together Terry and Phyllis and their family run a successful dairy farm outside of Harriston. Terry was blessed to have many great friends both in Minto and in Florida where Terry and Phyllis have spent their winters for over 20 years. There is a special place in Terry’s heart for his dear friend Ross Wilkie.

Papa was a special kind of man who always spoke with kindness, was a hardworking farmer who devoted his life to making sure Phyllis was happy. He always had a “snapper” for his grandkids and said “ta” after getting his kiss. He always made sure he made time to make everyone he knew feel special. Papa will be missed by so many but his family finds comfort in knowing he will be ploughing fields, taking Georgie and Tikka for endless walks and continuing to find ways to make Phyllis smile while being in heaven

A celebration of Terry’s life will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation would be greatly appreciated and may be made through the Hardy-Lee Funeral Home, Harriston. Online condolences at hardyleefuneralhome.com
