Richard H. Ayers

I am 67 years old, and knew both Dick and Helen my entire life as 2 of my parents 6 closest friends. My sister and I spent many times with them throughout our growing up years. Dick is the final person to pass from my parents lives. Dick and Helen were great people. They visited our family many times when we were growing up in Tewksbury, as well as at my parents summer camp up at Sawyer Lake. Both my parents worked at Raytheon, and (following suit) I, too, worked there my entire life. I stopped and visited briefly with Dick after learning of Helen's passing. He remembered me and we talked quite a bit because my mother had recently passed. They were both great people...and both are names of people I will never, ever forget.

Richard sounds like a sweet & fun guy. I'm really sad I never got to meet him, or to say "Thank You" for serving our country. Rest in Peace, in the Light of Christ's Face, Uncle Dicky.

So sad to have lost my neighbor but know he is finally back with his Helen.They stayed eith us during the ice storm of 2008 and we learned anout true love between them.We will miss you DaddyO as I had come to call him.Rest in peace my friend
