Life Reflections

Richard Tisdale, affectionately known as "Ricky" was born April 9, 1962 to  Juewillie Bright Tisdale and the late Willie "Bill" Tisdale. On Wednesday, July 9, 2025, God called his son, "Ricky" to rest.

"Ricky" received his education in the public schools of Williamsburg County. He served as his Freshmen Class President and played Junior Varsity/Varsity Football.  At an early age, he became a member of St. John A.M. E. Church.

In his early years, Ricky worked for Santee Wool in Jamestown, SC and The Town of Lane in Lane, SC. He later moved to Jacksonville, Florida and spent over 40 years where he was employed with St. Catherine Laboure Manor Gate Concrete and Ellis Propeller. He retired and later decided to move back home to Andrews, South Carolina.

When Ricky moved back home, he could be found visiting friends and family whom he loved and transported them to and from shopping trips and to doctor's appointments. He loved to cook on the grill and cook his and everyone else favorite pork pot.  Ricky was the father of three children and the grandfather of five.  One child preceded him in death, Richard Ricardo. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by one brother, Jerome.
