Richard Thibodeau

Richard was born in Lewiston, Maine on May 6th, 1945, a son to Edmund and Evangeline (Pelletier) Thibodeau. He attended Lewiston schools and graduated from Saint Dominic Academy. He spent many years working in grocery stores until he was drafted into the US Army.

After receiving an honorable discharge, he returned home and rejoined civilian life. Shortly after returning home, he met the love of his life, Doris Nadeau. The two were married for 44 wonderful years, being blessed with their two children Becky and Vicky. Becky was taken from this world too soon due to a tragic car accident.

Richard spent his final working years in an auto body shop painting cars until he was injured, taking him out of work. He enjoyed hot rods and restoring vehicles which he did many times throughout the years. In his free time, he loved hunting, fishing, four wheeling, boating and playing cards. He loved spending quality time with his family and friends.

Richard was loved by everyone who knew him and he will be greatly missed.

Richard is predeceased by his parents, his adoring wife Doris and his beloved daughter Becky.

He leaves behind his daughter Vicky Lacombe, her husband Ernie and his granddaughter Brooke.
