Mr. Richardson was my teacher at Central High and later my friend We always loved to see him at our class reunions and he always knew who we were. What a very special human being he was so willing to help and so loving to all . I will miss his smile and will remember him always.
Mike and family,
So sorry for your loss. Will always appreciate your dad’s help in helping Don and I become computer savvy. God’s comfort be with you all.

One of my Life’s most prominent “Role Models” was Wilbur. From his days as a Teacher, to his tutoring me in math in prep for a Naval Academy Appointment, he was ever reliable.
Always appreciated his friendship & counsel, as did my Father, Harry Simmons, back when he was associated with PJC/SCSC/USC.
W~M~R was definitely a Man who knew how to “Keep Score”!
Oft, as I stroll down Memory Lane, I will continue to enjoy running into my Dear Friend Wilbur.
