Richard Carruthers Obituary
He is survived by his devoted wife Madeline Carruthers, son David Carruthers (his wife Melinda), daughter Melissa Carruthers and loving grandfather to his five grandchildren, Todd Carruthers (his wife Ashleigh), Richard Gaffney (his wife Cathy), Ryan Gaffney, Riley Gaffney, Cody Carruthers and brother-in-law Gennaro Tavolaro (his wife Elaine). In addition, his brother James Carruthers (his companion Cindy LaPlante).
He was an avid Yankees and NASCAR fan. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends. In his passing, we will find solace in the memories shared and the impact he had on our lives.
A ceremony to celebrate Richard (Rit)'s life will be held at a future date.
Though he may no longer be with us in person, his spirit will forever live in our hearts. May he rest in peace.
