Not sure what to say?

Had the please of taking care of Don . He had a wealth of knowledge. Great man who truly care about others and his family. Love to sit and listen to him talk about his war stories .

RIP Dad

I found out because I was taking care of him almost for 2 years as a caregiver and I will always search him up and wow my condolences to his family and especially to his wife Barbara rivette will never forget you Don

Sending my condolences to the Rivette family. I remember your dad fondly and of course how tall he was! May he rest in peace.

I remember Don when he was Inspector Rivette at the Northampton of Registry of Vehicles. I had him for my driver's license test and I made it through especially when I got back to the Police Station where it was and had to parallel park. I was nervous but did it. He was kind and nice to me and gave me a short lecture. I remember stopping by my Senior year at Hamp High and said I was joining the Navy. He had a smile on his face and was glad. Truly a good man. I am grateful to have met him.

RIP, USN Chief Rivette (Doc). You touched so many "bases" of the military, and Mass. State Civil Service, RMV and more in your career. You had all the right to be so proud of your involvement of that you had done. To your surviving family of daughter "Lesa", sons Daniel and Don, and to the extended family I offer my deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers regarding your passing. "Slow hand salute rendered for a job well done. "HAND SALUTE"

Sorry for your loss, Jeff boyer
