BRIDGTON — Barry Parker Richardson, age 66, of Harrison, passed away Monday, July 15, 2019, at Bridgton Hospital.

Barry was born on July 28, 1952, in Bridgton, to the late Everett and Mary (Mitchell) Richardson. He graduated from East Hampton High School in East Hampton, Conn., in June 1970.

Barry was a self-employed building contractor, and worked side-by-side with his father for many years. Barry loved hunting, fishing, gardening, woodworking and spending time with those he loved. He was a lover of the great outdoors.

Barry was a loving father to Jason Richardson and Shelley Assia; proud grandfather of Payge Richardson, Parker Richardson, Samuel Assia, Ethan Assia, Audrey Assia and Charlie Assia; brother of Tracey Richardson-Newton, Jeffrey Richardson, Roland “Butch” Richardson and the late Melody Richardson; and companion to Lynn Guerin. He was also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Barry will be remembered by family and friends as a loving father, grandfather, an avid hunter and fisherman and great friend, always willing to go the extra mile. All were welcome at Barry’s house, and his warm smile and sense of humor will be sorely missed.
