Richard J. Bertrand

It’s January, the middle of the ski season and I begin to realize that I will never ride a chairlift or ski a cruiser with my friend Dick. I will never experience the burn in my quadriceps trying to keep up with him either. I will cherish the memories of skiing the slopes of New Hampshire with Dick, Matt and my three sons, the calls on the radios to find our boys, the pictures emailed to me to remind me of happier days on the slopes, and your optimistic signature “Think Snow” at the end of...

I'm so sorry to hear about Dickie's passing. I worked with for several years at the Barnes Building and I have nothing but great memories. He will be sorely missed. I wish you all the best in your healing. I wanted to let you know that Dickie, along with his family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dickie,
You haven't really left us, you're in our hearts and minds everyday.
You NEEECCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!

To the Bertrand family - I'm very sorry for your loss. I'll remember Mr. Bertrand for taking his night time walk around the neighborhood, and at one point of his walk, walking down the street of McAndrew Rd., where I lived, hearing "hi how are ya" or "hows it going", and just being happy that there really are some friendly neighbors left in this day and age. I also had my first kiss (not with Erin, but Erins friend back when I was in 7th grade) in the Bertrands tree house in their...

To Liz and family,
You are in our hearts and in our thoughts. We will miss Dickies smiling face and wonderful sense of humor. The fun pool parties where your neighbors, his skiing friends, and his corvette friends and his "Toons and Tays" friends all had a great time together, because of him. We are priviledged to have known him. We hope that somewhere there is lots of snow and an early winter for " The Skiman".

I tremendously enjoyed working with Dick. He always made you laugh and provided great lunches for us. He was always there to help when you needed it. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Liz, Matt, Michelle, & Erin,
Dick was not just our neighbor, he was a dear friend. We spent many good times with Dick either at your home or ours, family parties & summer time get togethers. Always smiling with good conversation, and his most gracious hospitality. Always willing to help, even snowblowing our driveway when we would have large snowstorms with mounds of snow. We miss him and will always think warm thoughts, picturing him working around the yard and coming over to chat...

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Dick was one of the most generous and wonderful souls that I ever met and had the opportunity to work with.

Liz, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dick's sudden passing. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
