Deacon Joe Nathan Richardson (72)

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family during this difficult time. Sgt. Richardson was an superb supervisor! I could hear him from a mile away yelling, count time! Count time! He knew he didn't have to do any paperwork because I had his back. He taught me to always be fair and firm to all the detainees. He said, you will earn their respect. True statement! Sergeant, you will deeply be missed by so many. Thank you for always treating me with the upmost respect & training me to be a great officer!Your spirit of love, kindness and wisdom will live forever.

Thirty-Five years ago, my uncle walked me down the aisle to give me to my husband. Although I'm sad, I did see and talked to him at my mom, his sister's (70th) birthday party. I remember from the time I was a Lil' girl you were always there for me, Pam and Carolyn. Helping mom. I am going to miss you, Uncle Nay! Your nieces, Frankie, Pam & Carolyn
