Lifelong Nome resident Charles W. Richardson, 52, died unexpectedly at his home Aug. 28, 2010.
A celebration of his life will be at the Nome Rec Center at 2 p.m. Sept. 22, with David and Julie Elmore of the United Methodist Church officiating. A private family interment will be at the Belmont Point Cemetery in Nome.
Charlie was born July 29, 1958, in Nome to Frank and Lucie Ann Richardson (Fagerstrom).
At an early age he became interested in basketball and it became the sport of his life. His proudest moments were realized in a Nome Nanooks uniform. No. 40 he wore on the court, playing for the Nome fans and the excitement of the competition.
After high school Charlie attended Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka for one year and the University of Alaska Fairbanks for one semester. He then began working in the building maintenance department at Nome Public Schools. By his retirement in October 2009, after 30 years' service, he had come to know the quirks and cranks, nooks and crannies of the Nome schools' physical plants.
Charlie had many friends and could be counted on to lend a helping hand to those in need. He will be missed by all whose lives he has touched.
Charlie is survived by his father, Frank "Rich" Richardson (Delores); brothers, Mark Johnson (Trinh) of Nome and Michael Johnson (Cathy) of Neenah, Wis.; aunts, Bunny Huffer (Fagerstrom) and Mary Richardson of St. Agatha, Maine; uncles, Robert Fagerstrom (Pauline), Charles Fagerstrom (Peggy), Frank Reale (Marion), and Wendell Wassman (Jeanie); and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Lucie Ann Richardson (Fagerstrom); and grandparents, Charles and Helen Fagerstrom of Nome and Frank and Lucy Richardson of Castine, Maine.
Charlie's family would like to thank their many friends, family and the community of Nome for all of the support and help during this very difficult time.
