Obituary for Richard Donald Comeau
On June 4th, 2022, the Good Lord called Richard (“Dick”) Comeau home.
Dick was born March 31st, 1947 in Colchester, Vermont to John B and Theresa (Kolb) Comeau.
He graduated from Rice Memorial High School and married the love of his life, Linda (Lynn)
Parrow, on October 19th, 1968.
Dick was a motorhead from the time he was a teenager. He worked at Kaigles Citgo as a young man and meticulously cared for his cars throughout his life. Dick served 6 years in the Vermont Air Guard then spent the rest of his career as an Inspector at GE/General Dynamics. He retired in 2005 after 40 years of service.
Dick was a devoted father and Papa, as well as a lover of Red Sox baseball and Patriots football. Those who had the privilege of knowing him would agree that he gave the best hugs. He also spent many hours working in his yard and garden and was a faithful member of St. Mark’s Church in Burlington, Vermont.
Dick is survived by his son, Kevin Comeau, Kevin’s fiancé/friend Kallie Senna, and her daughter Miss Savanna. He leaves behind his grandson Tyler Comeau, his sister, Kathleen (Comeau) Therriault and her husband Henry Therriault, and sister-in-law Patricia Comeau.
