Richardson died (of cancer related problems, leukemia listed on his death certificate), on a Monday night, January 5, 2003 at 7:30 p.m. surrounded by loving friends.
His cast of pet cats through the years were anointed with interesting monikers...

Upon Claibe's death, "Honey" lived two weeks and died. "Baby" died three weeks later.
