Richard Tuey Obituary

Richard A. Tuey, 51, of Peckville, died Wednesday at Community Medical Center after a lengthy illness. He was the husband of the former Tracy Martini. They had been married for 13 years.

Born in Scranton, son of the late Genevieve Kowalski, Rich attended Dunmore schools, and, before his illness, he worked at B&B Tire & Spring in Dickson City. Rich was a kind-hearted, loving and generous father and husband who selflessly gave to everyone. His contagious, loud laughter and kind stories filled the room with smiles. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who was never far from the side of his faithful companion, his yellow Lab, Riley. He was truly loved and will be greatly missed by all.

Also surviving are two daughters, Jennifer Tuey, Carbondale; and Kelly Tuey, Dunmore; three sisters, Cynthia Hannon, Warren, Pa.; Kathleen Gregory, Tunkhannock; and Patricia Morykon, Tunkhannock; nieces, nephews and cousins.

The funeral will be Saturday with Mass at 9:30 a.m. in Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, Peckville. Interment will be at the convenience of the family.

Arrangements by Robert E. Decker Funeral Home, Peckville.

So sorry to hear about Richard. We had some great times in the projects where we grew up in Dunmore. If we could all write a book about the times we all had ... good and bad. Remember the 67 Belevdere? I will never forget it! My deepest condolences to you all.
