Harold Ross Richardson Jr.'s Obituary
Harold Ross Richardson, Jr. was born on January 15, 1959 in, Longview, Texas. He gained his wings and
went to be with the Lord on May 12, 2017. Ross worked as the Maintenance Director at Magnolia place and Cypress Place in
Jefferson, Texas, where he worked alongside his loving wife, Gail each day.
Ross grew up and spent his years living at Lake O’ The Pines where he loved spending time with family
and friends. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved nothing better than spending his evenings on the
lake catching catfish with his son and grandsons. He devoted his time to helping others and never met a
stranger. Ross was often the life of the party whose loving attitude and big smile were memorable to
everyone who met him. Ross lived a fairy tale life with the love of his life, Gail for over 31 years. To see
one of them was to see the other and they rarely left one another’s side.
Ross leaves behind the love of his life, Gail Richardson who will greatly miss him, his children Renea
Newhouser and husband, Robert, daughter, Brandy Wallace and husband, Jason, and son Zachery
