his loving companion, Doris Dowdy, which preceded him in death. He worked for the Conrail Railroad and retired after 34 years of service. He was instrumental and fought for better rights for the Conrail Railroad employees. He received letters in 1989 from the late Richard G. Lugar, and Dan Coats both were United States Senators, thanking him for his countless hours, dedication, and service to the employees of Conrail Railroad. Ronald was an avid fisherman and loved to take long fishing trips with his dad and uncles. He rode a motorcycle and belonged to a Harley Davidson riding club that took him all over the state of Indiana. God saw that he was getting tired; a cure was not to be so He put His arms around him and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, and saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes "the best". Ronald Kirby Richmond departed this life on Tuesday, May 7, 2019, at the tender age of 83. He leaves to cherish his memory, one brother, Paul Richmond Jr. of New York, three nieces, Joyce, Darlene, and Lisa, a special niece, Gina Davis of LA, California, five cousins and a special cousin Donna Smith of Indpls., Indiana, six great nieces and nephews, nine great-great nieces and nephews, and a host of other relatives and friends all adopted by love.
