Richard Cornette Obituary
Though retired, Richard's true work was found in the relationships he nurtured and the lives he touched. He carried himself with dignity and compassion, always ready to lend a listening ear and offer thoughtful advice to those around him. His presence was a source of comfort and stability, a testament to his unwavering commitment to those he held dear.
Richard was preceded in death by his loving parents and his brother Michael, whose memories he cherished deeply. He leaves behind a devoted family, including his beloved mother Dolores, and his sisters Rita, Terry, Jill, and Crickette; and daughter Crystal. They, along with countless friends, will forever hold him in their hearts, remembering him as a beacon of kindness and integrity.
In remembering Richard, we celebrate a life devoted to care and connection, a legacy that inspires us to cherish and uplift one another. May his memory continue to guide and inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
