William Richmond Obituary

NEW HARTFORD - William Charles Richmond, 62, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, May 5, 2025. He was the loving husband of Lynn (Nilsen) Richmond for 39 wonderful years. Born December 19, 1962 in Norwalk; the son of the late Charles and Pauline (Lippolis) Richmond. Bill recently retired from Accu-Time Systems in Windsor Locks where he worked as an Accountant for many years. One of his great passions for the past 20 years was being "the voice" of Gilbert High announcing Basketball and Football games. In addition he also hosted a TV show with his friends, "Just Sports." Bill was a loving father, husband and brother. He trusted whole heartedly in Christ. His family and friends meant everything to him. His other loves included Diet Coke, the New York Mets, food and fellowship, and his Bronco. He enjoyed vacationing on Block Island, his fishing trips, and reading on his porch. He especially loved going to Italy with his family last year. He just loved life. The world will be too quiet without his voice, smile and zest for life. He is already deeply missed. In addition to his devoted wife, he leaves his beloved daughter, Jessica Algard and husband Micah of MA; siblings, Anne Wright and husband Brad of MA, Patty Richmond and wife Jenna Sellers of MA and David Richmond and wife Lisa of FL; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
