Stan Richardson, 72, died peacefully in his sleep after an extended illness. He was born in Kingman, Kansas, to Irl Newton and Doris Warner Richardson. Stan graduated from Winfield High School in 1970.

Beginning at the age of twelve, Stan learned all aspects of construction by working alongside his father and uncle. As a young adult, he moved to Reno County. In 1974, he joined forces with his cousin, Randy Richardson, and they started their own construction company. After many decades in the business, he hung up his hammer and saw (that it was time to retire.)

On February 14, 1979, Stan married Ann Myers in Wichita. They shared 45 years of marriage.

Stan is survived by his wife, Ann; sons Jon (Janice) Richardson, with their two children, Nolan and Everly, and Ross (Selby) Richardson, with their two children, Lola and June, all of Hutchinson; mother, Doris Richardson, two sisters, Alice Simmons, and Susan (George) Lowe, all of Winfield; and many in-laws, nephews and nieces.
