Richard Courtemanche Obituary

COURTEMANCHE, RICHARD Richard Courtemanche, 36, died in Austin, TX on November 6, 2005. Richard was charismatic, full of life, courage, brilliance, and drive. He lived life to the fullest without reserve. He served our country through the U.S. Marines Corps for five years and earned a Summa Cum Laude from Sloan Business School at MIT. Despite his impressive accomplishments, Rich enjoyed the simple things in life like spending time with his fiance, Christine Baranda, playing with his dogs Zach and Daisy, riding his motorcycles, and being with friends. Richard touched so many lives that were enamored not only of his physical beauty and intelligence but more importantly of his loving heart and gentle soul.

To my Papa Bear,

For the love that there was, for the love that there is, and for the love that will always be in my heart forever. For the magical times we spent together and for the planned future that could have been. For all the ecxitement, laughter, love, and hope. I will forever be in awe of you and what we had. Thank you for sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings. I understand everything now more than ever. You will always be a part of my soul. I love you!

This was a beautiful tribute to Rich. I've known him since 3rd grade and was so sad to hear this news. It was so nice meeting Christine at Rich's service in Natick, MA. I am thinking of you...
