During his time in Washington, D.C., Kevin met the love of his life, Lynne. Lynne and Kevin were married for 36 loving years, until she passed away last summer. Together, they raised two amazing daughters, Mary Ellen and Charlotte. After 26 years of public service to the Village of Lake Barrington, Mayor Richardson is retiring on May 6, 2025. It is with immense respect that I honor Mayor Richardson for his service to Lake Barrington and our Nation.
