Richard Charles Drouillard
-
A motto that Richard Charles Drouillard embraced in life was “Pay it Forward.” Blessed with many gifts, Dick never hesitated to help another person or community in need.
His life was in service to others; helping his family, those with whom he worked and the community in which he lived. Dick worked as a nuclear supervisor at Fermi I and II. Additionally, he was a member of the Fire Department, an EMT and a mechanic while serving in the US Army. Active in the lives of his children, Dick was an assistant leader for the Boy Scout troop that of his oldest son, Vincent, was involved with. With his youngest son, Ricky, who valued his father’s opinion, he enjoyed the hobby of collecting knives and guns.
Richard’s family gathered for a Memorial Mass on Friday, November 26 to commend him back to the God who loves him and created him. St. Mary Parish extends its sympathy to the members of Richard’s family: his wife of 59 years, Nancy; his children, Jean, Vincent (Kim) and Richard (Amanda); his grandchildren: Andrew, Christopher, Melissa, Jeremy, Benjamin, Ava, Gianna, Lainey, Kinsley, Siena, Beckett, Dominic, Clare, and his great-grandson: Lucas. May the hope of the resurrection be for each of you a consolation and comfort in this time of mourning.
