Answer 2

As of Feb. 20th 2010 Mr. Richardson is alive and well and resides in the south suburbs of Illinois. I chatted briefly with Mr. Richardson after I inquired about the championship ring I noticed on his finger. He introduced himself and and explained to me he won it while playing for the Dallas Cowboys in 1971. I googled his name and stumbled upon this site.
