Robert Scott Richardson

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert Scott Richardson, who departed this world peacefully on November 10, 2026. Born on December 3, 1945, in Buffalo, NY, Robert was a man whose life was defined by dedication, kindness, and a steadfast devotion to his family and community.

Robert was the beloved son of the late Harry and Mary Richardson. He grew alongside his cherished brothers, Donald and Bruce Richardson. His upbringing in Springville instilled values that he carried with him throughout his life.

He leaves behind his devoted wife of 53 years, Rita, who stood by his side through every chapter of life. Together, they built a beautiful family. Robert was a proud father to Rachel Prince (Todd), Holly Richardson (Sally Hayhurst), and Robert K. Richardson (Susan). His legacy continues through his grandchildren: Ethan Richardson (Lauren), Paul Armstrong (Rebecca), Lia Richardson, and Kaley Richardson.

Robert dedicated over 30 years of his career as a business teacher at Hamburg High School. In addition to his teaching career, he managed the Hamburg Credit Union, where he was known for his integrity and commitment to the community. During the summer months, Robert expressed his industrious spirit by painting and roofing, earning admiration for his work ethic and his handyman skills all over Springville.

A man of faith, Robert was a lifelong member of the Springville United Methodist Church, where he found a spiritual home and a community that he cherished deeply. His hobbies included playing pool and golf, activities that brought him joy and camaraderie with friends.

His family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at the Avon Nursing Facility for the compassionate care they provided during Robert's final months.

Robert Scott Richardson's life was a testament to the power of love, hard work, and community. He will be profoundly missed but never forgotten, as his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

A memorial service will be held on November 28th at 11 AM at the Springville United Methodist Church. A luncheon will follow.
