Revd. Dr. William BL RICHARDSON

So sad to hear about Father's death. Father William was very kind and of great assistance to me when I needed his help. May His gentle soul rest in peace 🙏 Amen.

"All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin."

My sincere condolences to the Richardson family at this difficult time. I was so saddened to hear of Fr William’s passing. I will miss his kind, friendly and welcoming presence in the gym. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace.

We taught William at King's Inns, and have many fond memories of him. He was a consummate gentleman, and gave great support to his fellow students. He was witty, erudite and helpful. The Reverend Doctor was free and easy in his knowledge, and contributed so much to every class (his expertise in Thomistic thought and Church history in particular enriched the Natural Law section of the Jurisprudence course, for us as much as his classmates. His name is spoken of with love by his friends in the Law Library. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear William (if I may), We I think never actually met in this life, but I feel I knew you through indirectly my friend your brother Joseph and always admired your great intellect and passion. The loss to your family and the Church and others is great, but your example in life will have inspired many, even at a distance, and I shall with gratitude pray for the repose of your soul.

Condolences to Fr Richardson's family. Apart from his manifest kindness, I will always remember his great sense of humour. We will miss him dreadfully. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

My deepest sympathies to William’s mother, his family, and all whose lives he touched.

William was a true scholar, an advocate, and a gentleman in every sense. He approached life with quiet strength and a kind heart, leaving a mark on everything he did. I had the privilege of studying alongside William at the King’s Inns, where his kindness, intelligence, and grace distinguished him.

He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.

To William's mother and family members. Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of Fr William. A man of faith and unflinching commitment to his vocation, he was truly professional in his ministry offering canonical advice. His integrity shone forth in all that he said and did. May he rest in the peace of the risen Lord whom he served with so much dedication. Thank you William for all the good work you did on behalf of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.

Fr William Richardson BL JCD was a man of exceptional intellectual ability, profound faith, humility and concern for others. His integrity and authentic witness to the faith made him a lodestar for those in need of wise counsel. His passing will be felt by all who knew him. But his priestly witness, example, and dedication to the Lord will continue to sustain us. With sincere condolences to his family but also gratitude to them for sharing Fr William with us.

Rest in peace Fr. Richardson. Our lady of knock pray for him.

My sincere sympathies to William’s Mother, family, all of his Church colleagues and worshippers. He was a good man, of great integrity and kindness. May his gentle soul Rest In Peace.

Will miss Fr. Richardson in St. Kevin's where I've been attending since 2018. Especially his great sermons. Will keep him and his family in my prayers. RIP Fr. Richardson.

Rest in peace to a very wonderful priest. His sermons were so inspiring and so full of truth. He was a truly a very holy man. When he said the Latin mass ,it was very beautiful and uplifting. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.

Professor Richardson was one of the most caring and supportive academics during my time at KU Leuven and is missed by so many canonists that he helped train- I will always be grateful for his support, friendship and priestly example. My condolences to his dear mother and family- thank you for the gift of your dear son who has served the Church with so much zeal and dedication. A gifted educator and a fine priest - may he hear the Lord’s words “well done, good and faithful servant- enter into the joy of your Lord!”

I am so sorry to hear this news. My sincere condolences to Williams family on their great loss.

William approached life with a deep compassion that guided everything he did. It was a strength that shaped his outlook, his work, and the kindness he showed to everyone around him.

I particularly enjoyed studying with William at the King’s Inns, a brilliant mind and a great friend. He always took the time to ask how I was, to stop for a chat, and to generously share his knowledge and insights. William was an absolute gentleman, hugely knowledgeable, and considerate.

He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, wisdom, and integrity, and will be greatly missed.

Go dtuga Dia suaimhneas sioraí dó, may William rest in peace.

I heard him preaching In Harrington Street many times.He really was excellent. The Church in Ireland is left bereft at his passing. May he rest in peace.

What a huge loss to the world, but particularly to me.... Our worlds collided in 2019 and I've been grateful to God ever since..... I will miss you forever but I have a lifetime to laugh over the fun times.... I know that you will be with me always, guiding, jesting and rolling your eyes... i still see them.....

Rest easy Pal

Thank you, Father Richardson, for the beautiful Masses and inspiring homilies delivered from the pulpit of St. Kevin’s during Sunday High Mass.
Requiescat in pace.

Deepest sympathy to Williams mum and family. A true gentleman. Rip. ⭐️
