Stephen Richards
Stephen Richards of Westmore died on Sunday, January 25, 2015.
He was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, on March 17, 1944, the son of Charles and Ann (Beatrice) Richards.
Just days after graduating from Framingham High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he was a parachute rigger. He said that the true test of whether he was good at his job came when he had to parachute from a plane using a parachute he had rigged!
Mr. Richards and his future wife, Deb, met in Boston, Massachusetts, and were married in January of 1974. They moved to “the Kingdom” in 1977 and have lived in Westmore since then.
Even though Mr. Richards was born and raised in Massachusetts, he was a true Vermonter at heart and in spirit. He loved being in the woods and especially so during hunting season. For several years, he enjoyed hosting his friends over Thanksgiving weekend at “camp” (actually his house, because he liked to have a hot shower every day).
He rediscovered his love for golf three years ago and he could be found every weekday teeing off at 7 a.m. at the Barton Golf Club, usually with Frank and David.
He spent ten years as manager of the C&C Supermarket in Barton. He left there and purchased a market just over the river in North Stratford, New Hampshire, where he and his wife worked for five years. He then went back to Barton to work for Comstock’s Smoked Meats. He traveled all over the state of Vermont selling the Comstock brands. When this position ended, he went to work selling real estate for All Seasons Realty and Jacques Roberge. He was currently retired.
He is survived by his wife, Deborah Gage; and by his brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Mieke Richards, and their children: Jennifer and Christopher. In addition, he leaves behind other in-laws and several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents; his daughter Frannie; and by his son Mark.
There will be a gathering in Westmore at the time of burial.
Donations in his name may be made to the Pope Memorial Frontier Animal Shelter, 502 Strawberry Acres, Newport, Vermont 05855.
