Auburn – Richard Cyril Belanger, 65, of Norway and formerly of Lewiston, passed away on Tuesday December 10, 2019 at The Androscoggin Hospice House in Auburn with his loving wife by his side.

He was married to Jane (Trepanier) Belanger and together they worked in the Lewiston area raising their two children Rochelle and Robert.
