Dear Bea and Family,
I remember on one occasion, I stopped at your house unannounced after dropping my son at Boy Scout Camp. Diane was in the hospital in Burlington and my father had died recently. You weren’t home but came home right away. I always appreciated how thoughtful you both were. Diane and I always enjoyed out times together with you and Dick.
Take good care.

Dear Bea, Sharon, and Julie,
We just learned of Dick's death this week in a magazine published by Plattsburgh State. How shocked and sad we were to hear. Dick was a terrific guy and we missed seeing you, Bea, and Dick after you moved to the Carolinas. You have our deepest sympathy and know he will be sorely missed. We know it has been nine months since he died and we are sorry we didn't know sooner. We hope God has been with you and comforted you during this painful time.

Dear Bea, Sharon and Julia:
My heart sank when I read of Dick's passing. The jolt sent me back several years ago, when Dick gave the MCSD crew some wonderful laughs and smiles! You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless! Christine

Bea, Sharon, Julie and families,
I was so sorry to read about the passing of Dick in the newspaper yesterday. Dick worked rght up the stairs from my classroom for many years and not only was he a true professional always there to help kids but a fun loving colleague. I think back on our many Flanders parties and Dick was a huge part of our fun times.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. My memories of all of you will be with me forever. I hope in the days ahead...

Throughout life we meet many people, some of them quite exceptional. Richard "Dick" Poissant was one of the most exceptional one could ever meet. His personality was one that was magnetic. I never knew anyone who didn't have good things to say about him. Dick and Bea were truly a couple who, once you met them, you looked forward to meeting them again.
"Sam" and I shall always miss his humor and genuine concern for others. He is now with our lord,no pain, happy, and probably looking down...
