Roger J. Richard
Of Waltham, passed away peacefully Sunday morning, February 13th, 2022 in the comfort and care of the staff at Care Dimensions Hospice Home in Lincoln at the age of 85.

He had a passion for the outdoors and all things nature; he loved hunting but most especially, fishing. He had many hobbies; “fixing things”, woodworking and carpentry were just a few. Roger loved to play cards especially cribbage.
His family and his friends were always first and foremost. Roger was a longtime member of the French-American Victory Club in Waltham.

In addition, he is survived by countless nieces, nephews, extended family members and close friends.
He was predeceased by his parents and dear siblings Arias Richard, Louise Wood, Therese Caissie, Annette Richard and Marguerite Richard.
