I remember the first time I met Father Cote. My family was visiting the Courchesnes', as many were gathered to welcome him home from Africa. I must have been eleven years old. When we were introduced to him, I made eye contact with him for a few moments and he smiled. I remember thinking, "his eyes look like Jesus' eyes" as he seemed to really see me. Other adults might have looked through me thinking I was a child and insignificant, but I've never forgotten his loving glance.

I thought of him frequently, and was deeply saddened to learn he had died, but I know that the angels and saints rejoiced in welcoming him home...God Bless his friends and family who will miss him so. Peace, Anne

Such a peaceful man, a spiritual genius, and a loving uncle you were. My father shall miss his best friend, his mentor, his brother… but shall welcome more profoundly, an angel. Your achievements and intentions will be admired for generations in our family, Uncle Dickie, and your memory shall always be cherished.

Love and eternal peace,

Rebecca

We feel privileged to have gotten the opportunity to meet Dickie during his visits to Hurst and Houston, TX. During visits with Edmund and Adolfo we would have occasions to visit with him. He made us feel like we had always been part of his family even though he had just met us. His warm and caring personality drew us to him. As Adolfo's sister, I know I speak for all of our family when I say we really were blessed to have had the chance to meet him. I feel he will be watching over us all. His smile; his laughter; and his wisdom will remain with us forever.

Adolfo's Sister and Brother-in-Law

The cousins from Salem MA have many fond memories of our vacations with Dick, and his family at their home in Derry NH.

This mainly took place in the 40's and it is so true to say "Those Were The Good Old Days".

The idea of leaving the city to go to a farm excited each one of us because this would give us a chance to spend fun times with our cousins; Aunt May, Uncle Al, Ted, Dick, Edna, Rita, Edmund, Rachel and Paul.

We would get excited about pumping water at their kitchen sink. We will never forget the hearty laughter, the sing-a-longs, the delicious fresh vegetables from their garden, the milking of "Nutmeg" the cow, and of course the "outhouse", etc.

We are all very proud of Father Richard's accomplishments and he will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

The cousins from 12 Linden St. Salem, MA Dorothy Simard known as "Aunt Dot", Dolores, Connie, Donnie, Claudette, Arline, Arthur, Doris.

The Cote family history that you were able to piece together is amazing. It will continue to provide entertainment and thoughtful reflection for generations. Rest in peace.

Dear Cousin Dickie,

Memories take me back to our childhood and what fun we had. Especially you the "king" of the pranksters. These are good memories which I will cherish always along with the pride we have in you as an adult.

I was a friend of the family many years ago and was very fond of "Uncle Dickie" he was very peaceful, kind and had a quick wit. It's a comfort to know he's passed on to a much better place where he is reunited with passed loved ones. 'til we meet again.

Love and condolences to the family.
