Richard Giroux

Rich was a wonderful man in every aspect husband, father, co-worker, friend and he will be remembered by all as someone special. It seems like yesterday that he came to FRANKEL Cadillac but that is how fast time flew. Rich surely left his mark on the hearts of everyone who worked with him. I especially remember how kind he was to Gwen when she was so sick. Tony and I both are saddened by his departure.We know how much he loved his family and how much they loved him and we know the deep loss they feel. We pray for all of the family. With deepest sympathy Tony and Lee Dondalski

The Giroux family is in our hearts and our prayers. We will miss Rich´s smiling face and sense of humor. Love from Christine and Ray Schulze

Dear Dotee and family. My family and I were one of the early parishioners of SFX. At Fr. Donellan´s request, I served on the first Mission and Planning Committee with Rich. What a wonderful experience this was working with such a fine gentleman. And although we have been gone from the Parish for many years, I still receive the bulletin. I do this because the Parish and people like Rich meant so much to us. My wife Barbara converted to Catholicism at SFX so our memories are cherished. Our best wishes go out to you and the family. I´ll say prayers for you and the family tomorrow.
Our thoughts are with you,
Barbara and Brendan McCormick

We are so saddened to learn of Rich´s passing. Rich and Dodee were neighbors of ours when we lived in Havre de Grace, and we very much enjoyed their company during our neighborhood gatherings. Rich was a great conversationalist. He was very socially engaging and loved to talk about cars
and his experiences working in the auto industry. Our sincere condolences to Dodee and her loving family for this devastating loss.

Dear Dodee and Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We will always remember Rich as our friendly, happy, kind neighbor on Piney Hill Road. May cherished memories and support of loving friends and family help all of you through this difficult time. Sending prayers to all.
Our deepest sympathies, Dan and Cindi Popowski

Although, I've only known Mr. Rich since September 18, 2024, the day after his 79th birthday, I felt like I've known him and Dodee-Dodee (as he affectionately called her) for a lifetime. As one of the family's caregivers, I had the privilege of spending time with him on a weekly basis- having serious conversations about his health, reading devotions, and enjoying his sense of humor. Everyday that I had the privilege of providing personal care to him was a joy, even when he fired me and then rehired me at the same time! It was never a dull moment with Mr. Rich (my buddy). I learned a lot from him, as I listened to him talk about automobiles. He told me that his favorite vehicle is the Cadillac Escalade, and every time I see one, it reminds me of him. I'm grateful to our God for allowing our paths to cross. And, I'm also grateful to the Giroux family for welcoming me into your lives, and trusting me with providing personal care services to Mr. Rich. I'm going to miss him immensely, but I am confident that I will see him again, on the other side. Rest in Paradise, my friend! You've done well! May God continue to bless the family during this season of your life! With Love, Veronica

Know that I hold you close in prayer.

A beautifully written memorial for a most memorable man!

Being a former Altar Boy I know in my heart that Rich is in God´s presence forever in eternal bliss...

One of the finest, most genuine men I have ever known. I am so very grateful to have worked with Rich for 17 years. He was a great manager and very supportive to all the Acura crew. Rich, you will be sorely missed. God Bless

He was a great man with a loving family that was included in our Frankel family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

May the grace of God be with you and your family. Thank you for being a mentor and inspiration.
