Robert "Bobby" Malcom Richardson, 78, departed this life Sunday, May 23, 2021 at Blue Ridge Nursing Home.
Mr. Richardson was born the son of Henry Malcom Richardson and Minnie Elizabeth Connelly Richardson on April 18, 1943 in Andrews.

Bobby attended the old Andrews High School on Farr St. but finished his High School Diploma while serving in the South Carolina Army National Guard. He was a retired Operator at the Georgetown Mill of International Paper Company. His greatest enjoyment was farming and driving his ford tractor for he was a diehard FORD man. He was lifetime member of the Holy Trinity Pentecostal Holiness Church family which he affectionately referred to as the "Puncheon Creek Church". No greater joy had he than the title of "Papa". Spending time with his grands was the best benefit of retirement a man could receive.
He is survived by: three children, Robert Malcom Richardson II (Donna), Derrick Dwayne Richardson, and Robert E. "R.E" Richardson (Cheryl); and six grandchildren, Robbie, Garrett, Eric, Matt, Katherine, and R.J. He is also survived by his sister, Mary Rose Swails.
