Richard Venti Obituary

Venti, Richard 85 Nov. 26, 1930 July 19, 2016 It is with deep and heavy sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Venti. He died peacefully July 19, 2016, surrounded by his family. Richard was born in Hingham, Mass. He spent most of his life working for General Motors in sales and marketing, which was a perfect fit, as he had a wonderful outgoing per- sonality. He enjoyed vol- unteering, he loved to travel and he cherished his family and friends. Richard was predeceased by his first wife, Mary Ann; and second wife, Judy. He is survived by his children, Karen, Nancy, Michael and Katherine; and stepson, Troy. He was a loving father and grandfather. The family asks that instead of sending flowers, make a donation to the charity of your choice. He was a very special man and will forever be in our hearts.
