Charles Marshall Richardson, Sr. of Metairie, Louisiana, passed away at East Jefferson General Hospital on January 21, 2021, from Covid complications. He was born in Bogalusa, Louisiana, on February 6,1932, into a family with deep roots in Washington Parish.  His parents were the late Judge Jim Warren Richardson, Sr. and Henrietta Russell Richardson. He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Mary Sandra Pole Richardson.

Even though he moved to Metairie, Louisiana, he considered Bogalusa his home. He was always a visionary and an active member of the community.

Charles was a true gentleman who never met a stranger. The hearts of his wife, children, and grandchildren are broken, but they will forever remember him as the amazing man he was.

He was an outstanding role model for three generations of children, a number of whom share his name.
