Dennis Richard passed away at the age of 79 on Tuesday, March 24, 2020. Dennis was born in Basile, Louisiana on May 25, 1940 and joins his parents, Clanny Richard and Laura Bellon Richard in heaven. He was the beloved husband of Connie Wroten Richard for 56 years, hero to daughter Denise Richard Feraci (Gerard), creator of adventures to grandchildren Elizabeth Singletary Stagno (Kyle) and Joseph Singletary. He was a very proud great grandfather to Eleanor Stagno and Oliver Stagno and “favorite Uncle” to many nieces and nephews. Dennis was a very proud Vietnam Veteran who served in the National Guard and the Air Force. He also served as a Deputy and later a Detective for the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Department for many years. He dedicated his life to serving others and helping those less fortunate. He loved working with wood, building bird houses, duck calls and pirogue’s, hunting and fishing. He could always be found bringing his grandchildren on “adventures”. He loved giving them “true stories” to tell. Nothing ever needed to be embellished when he was around. He will be terribly missed and will be honored in a memorial service at a later date.
