Phil Richardson is a very good friend to many of us. He has done much for the people of Oro Valley. Phil always says he didn't come to Oro Valley; Oro Valley came to him, alluding to the annexation of his Suffolk Hills community.
Sadly, Phil's wife Shirley who was his "soul-mate" for what would have been 60 years this weekend passed away yesterday.
Quoting from an email Phil sent me.
"In 1957, a Doctor told me that Shirley had Lupus and would not survive for more than 3 years at the most, which shows how conservative some physicians are! She died yesterday in a beautiful hospice after a really rough week in Northwest Hospital and what with chemotherapy for the last five months, this was such a relief for everyone, it was a peaceful, pain-relieved end to a fruitful life out of which 18 years were while she was in remission and being a slave for me and the kids."
For those who may wish to pay their respects, the Memorial Services are noted below.
Funeral/Memorial Monday March 17 at 11:00AM at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church Chapel, 750 W. Chapala Drive.
This is the NE corner of Paseo del Norte and Chapala Drive. Paseo del Norte is one light west of Ina and N, Oracle and runs north and south from Ina to Magee.

God Bless Phil Richardson and his family.
Don't really know him, but enjoyed his Watchdog site.
