Obituary

Richard H. Robertson, 80, of N. Chesterfield, VA went to be with the Lord on Saturday July 6, 2024. He was born on March 15, 1944, to the late Richard M. Robertson and Ruth H. Robertson.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Sharon K. Robertson; son, Richard “Rob” S. Robertson (Hailey); Daughter Kristen R.W. Hicks (Ray); Brother David M. Robertson (Robin) and sister Ruth Anne R. Curtin (Chris); Grandchildren, Carly Hicks, Holden Robertson, and Maddox Wright.

Richard was a graduate of VCU with a master’s degree in business, and taught at VCU in the beginnings of the IT program. He co-authored the first high school IT textbook for the state of VA. He completed his career as an Administrator of IT at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. As a member of Beulah United Methodist Church, he spent 25 years as contributions secretary, choir member, and held other leadership roles. He spent many hours watching his children and grandchildren’s sporting events and activities. When he wasn’t working his ideal way to relax was to spend time at his home in Holden Beach in N.C. Richard is like the seashells collected on the shore, a treasure to cherish forever. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, especially his family.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that contributions be made to Chester United Methodist Church or James River Hospice. A Memorial Service will be held at Chester United Methodist Church on Friday, July 12, 2024 at 11am.
