Robert "Bob" Richard

Robert "Bob" Richard, 93, of Dover, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.
Born in Dover on March 5, 1932, he was the son of Daniel and Armande (Roberge) Richard, and
a lifelong resident of the community he so dearly loved.
Bob's impact on Dover is woven into the very fabric of the city. Known for his kindness,
generosity, and steadfast commitment to service, he was honored in 2000 as Dover Citizen of the
Year. He served for many years as president of D.F. Richard, leading with integrity and a deep
dedication to the people he worked with and the community the company served.
A man of wide-ranging interests and deep connections, Bob was a longtime member of Cocheco
Country Club and an active participant in countless civic and charitable organizations. He
contributed his time and energy to the Elks, The Moose, The St. Jean Society, Knights of
Columbus, Rotary, NH Soap Box Derby and served as a Lector and Eucharistic Minister at the
Parish of the Assumption. For an incredible forty years, Bob called bingo for St. Charles church,
St. Mary's church, and St. Thomas Aquinas High School-bringing joy, laughter, and
camaraderie to generations.
Bob was as generous as they come, always ready with a helping hand, kind word, or warm smile.
His dedication to bettering the lives of others, both quietly and profoundly, touched more people
than can be counted. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Bob is predeceased by his loving wife Lucille (Lavoie) Richard; siblings Norman Richard,
Raymond Richard, Anita (Richard) Corain, Jeanette Richard and daughter-in-law Sheila
(Mcglone) Richard; Survivors include sons Ronald Richard of Somersworth, Daniel Richard and
