Richard Simoneau Obituary

RICHARD ALFRED SIMONEAU MAR 3, 1935 - NOV 26, 2010 In a picture worth a thousand words, he held our hands and stepped to the dance that we call life''. It is hardly what we dream it up to be; sometimes it is cruel and unfair and other times it is what dreams are made of. Today he rests peacefully knowing that it is not about death, but the life that he shared with all of us and the life that each of us will carry on with his wisdom, his love, and his memories. Take life in stride, be consistent with your love, and make the occasional funny face and know that things will be alright''...Rich Simoneau Sr. Richard Alfred Simoneau Sr. passed away on November 26, 2010 at Memorial Medical Center in Modesto.

Richard we are sorry to hear of your loss. Although we didn't know him well we enjoyed his sense of humor every time we went into the store. We will always remember how he let you give us all that we wanted with our rebuild. It was a stressful time that he, you and your guys just made a little easier. Our prayers are with you and your entire family.
