Richard Caron

Richard Caron, 85, of Bozrah went home peacefully to be with our Lord, in the early hours of September 26, 2019 with his loving wife of 60 years, Lillian, by his side.

Richard was born Nov. 28, 1933 in Fort Kent, ME. There he worked the potato, corn and produce fields while raising six children with his wife Lillian. He was a paratrooper in the Army and was a cook who fed many in the service.

Later in CT, Richard was a construction worker and then a superintendent taking care of apartment complexes along with his wife.

Most of all Richard was a devoted and loving Father to his children. He was graced with the best sense of humor and he loved to have fun.
