Tom Richardson, one of the founders of Conversation Tees, died last week at age 50 in his Raleigh apartment. The cause of death is unknown. Richardson, who had been homeless in Raleigh, founded Conversation Tees with his friend Rob Frohlking, also homeless. The shirts featured a single word, such as “Really,” “Exactly” and “Obviously.” The shirts were meant to make people ask questions and start conversations. More than 100 people attended Richardson’s funeral at Edenton Street United Methodist Church Friday.
