Richard spent most of his career as an engineer at the Quincy Shipyard, where he worked for 38 years. He was a talented woodworker who designed and built many projects.

Richard enjoyed traveling to Nova Scotia, the ancestral home of Phyllis' family. In more recent years, he continued trips there with Barbara where they made many lasting Acadian friendships.

Richard had a dry sense of humor that will be missed.

His children would like to sincerely thank Barbara for her love, devotion and wonderful care during these last few years, which enabled Dick to remain at the home he loved so much.

Services will be private.

Donations in Richard's memory may be made to the Hospice of the South Shore, 30 Reservoir Park Drive, Rockland, MA 02370-1055.
