Eugene was born on September 29, 1926 in Sherry, WI, the son of Arnold and Marie (Linzmaier) Richardson. He was a graduate of Auburndale High School in 1944. He married Lorraine E. Jadack on June 14, 1950. She died on September 16, 2003. Eugene proudly served our country from 1945 until his honorable discharge in 1948 and was a member of the American Legion in Milladore since that time. Eugene and Lorraine owned a dairy farm in Milladore for many years. He also operated a milk route early in his career. They spent many happy years of retirement in Hayward, WI. Throughout his life, he particularly enjoyed spending time outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and time spent in the woods by his home. He cut and split his own firewood, even at the age of 92. Many lessons were learned over the years from his example. He was kind, hard-working, and lived his life with a heart of gratitude.
