Frederick S. Richardson (\u2018Fred\u2019) of Bush Road, Pompey,\npassed away Saturday morning August 31, 2019, at his home. Fred was born in\nOneida to Vernon Richardson and Irene (Jones) Richardson on September 18,\n1949.  He grew up in Peterboro, working\non his family farm.  This fostered his\nlove for nature and the outdoors. Fred served in the United States Army during\nthe Vietnam War and continued his service in the Army Reserves. He retired from\nthe Carpenters Union after dedicating 48 years to the construction industry,\nhaving built many of the buildings in the Syracuse area, including the MOST,\nthe SU College of Law and the Cornell University Library expansion.  Fred spent 33 years working for Edward Schalk\n& Son and received awards and recognition for his work, including the 2008\nCraftsmanship Award from the Syracuse Builders Exchange for his work on the SI\nNewhouse School.  He also proudly built\nthe home that his family has lived in for almost 40 years.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fred was an avid SU fan and coached pop warner\nfootball.  He could fix anything with a\nmotor and was always up for a challenge. \nHe enjoyed snowmobiling, boating and spending time on the St. Lawrence\nRiver, but above all he loved his time with his close friends and his\nfamily.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He shared his passion and knowledge with others and his kids\nshare his hobbies and love for the outdoors. \nFred was kind and patient and always willing to help anyone.  His quiet, subtle sense of humor was one of\nmany qualities his friends and family adored. Fred was predeceased by his\nparents.  He is survived by his loving\nwife of more than 40 years, Pamela (Oswald) Richardson; children, Hillary\n(Darren) Tracy, Benjamin (Julie) Richardson and Ryan Richardson and five\ngrandchildren; his brother Richard (Lillian) Richardson of Morrisville and a\nhost of brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and friends.\nInformation regarding services will appear at ballweg-lunsford.com<\/a>.  Services will be held at the Pompey Community\nChurch later this week.  In lieu of flowers,\nplease send donations to the Pompey Hill Fire Department at 7407 Academy\nStreet, Pompey, N.Y. 13138. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
