Dick also enjoyed traveling with his lovely wife Elaine all over the world making friends along the way. He also enjoyed family gatherings and meeting with his friends at the Lafayette House and all the local restaurants. Dick always enjoyed a good laugh which lead to great friendships. Dick is survived by his loving wife Elaine (Booth) Cleveland; his children Pamela Sikora and her husband Walter of Attleboro and Dennisport, Richard Rick M. Cleveland Jr. and Joy Idman, and her husband Jack all of Walpole. Grampa Dick is also survived by 6 of his wonderful grandchildren and their spouses, and 7 beautiful great grandchildren. He is also survived by many brother & sister in-laws, nieces, nephews and their families. He was predeceased by his brother, Robert S. Cleveland. Services will be private.
