Edwin Algernon Joseph Richardson
[AMIS Memorial Chapel & Crematory]
The family of Edwin Algernon Joseph Richardson, aka Smokey, sadly announce his passing on May 1, 2026, in Toronto, Canada, in his 76th year. He was the loving son of the late Cecil Clyde and the late Albertha Virginia [Proctor] Richardson. He was proud father to Lemuel Weeks [Liverpool, UK] and adoring Papa to his grands, Kweli [Bermuda], Laseanna, Solo, Sole and Loyal Weeks – Liverpool, UK. Cherished brother to the late Leroy Vincent Proctor and Ishmael Israel [Laurence Richardson] – Manchester, UK. He is lovingly remembered by his nieces, nephews, aunts and cousins of his Proctor, Richardson, Manders and Bremar families in Bermuda and his Walker family in Boston.
The family would like to thank the caregiving team and staff of Humber River Health Hospital, RCC, Toronto Finch; and give bountiful thanks to his most treasured friends in Toronto who were by his side and supported him through everything – Steve Raiman, Debbie Danbrook, Greg Danbrook, and to the House of Moses in Kensington Market.
He will also be remembered by his many friends, Dockyard family, colleagues and neighbours too numerous to mention in Bermuda, Boston and Toronto. Smokey walked this life peaceful and chilled, happily beating to his own drum. He loved to dabble in all things cultural/historical and loved music and travel.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
