Nat was the kindest, most thoughtful, most honest, clear thinking and loyal person that it has ever been my honour to know. He was a good man. The world is a poorer place without him. Go in peace old friend.

I remember Dr. Richardson when I played for Barrolle(basketball)he was a positive influence, at the time (Jim Crow)Jim Minor was the coach but Dr Richardson came around to gave us his time and encouragment and we all appreciated his basketball knowdledge. All Dr Richardson talk about was Purdue University basketball and their star player Joe Barry Carolle. When I came to the States I got the chance to watch Joe Barry play at Purdue and was later drafted in the first round by Golden State. I played in the ProAm league during the summer and was hoping to run into Joe Barry to tell him he had a super fan in Liberia in Dr Richardson but never got the chance. May Dr Richardson soul rest in peace and the good Lord protect his family
