Richard Curtin Obituary
Rich grew up in Squantum, Massachusetts and was the second of three children. He attended elementary school at St. Peter's Catholic School in Dorchester, was a Boston College High School graduate and earned his bachelor's degree at Daniel Webster College in New Hampshire where he met his soulmate Donna. Rich worked as a Field Consultant for AAA Northeast for 30 plus years.
Settling in East Bridgewater after marrying Donna on May 17, 1997 they raised their family. When the kids were growing up, Rich supported all of their endeavors. He was their number one fan for baseball, basketball, football, softball, field hockey and lacrosse. He was always proud to be a Den Leader with Cub Scout Pack 28. Later in life as the kids got older, Rich always looked forward to his poker games with his friends. Rich and Donna's happy place was Aruba. They shared many awesome memories of sunsets on Palm Beach and relaxing dinners at Madame Janette's. Rich also enjoyed video games and reading but most importantly being with his family. His rapier wit will be greatly missed.
All are cordially invited to a wake on Tuesday, Nov. 1st at the Chapman Funerals and Cremations 35 Spring St. East Bridgewater from 5-8 pm. A funeral procession will gather at the funeral home on Wed. Nov. 2 9:45 am. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at St. John's Church, 210 Central St. East Bridgewater at 10:30 am.
