FUNERAL HOME
Richard Zuron Obituary
Whately, MA - With love and sorrow, we honor the peaceful passing of Richard in his beloved Deerfield home, where he spent 65 years devoted to the life he thoughtfully built.
Guided by faith, family, and his Polish heritage, Richard lived with humility and heartfelt generosity. Through woodworking, gardening, nature, and caring for those he loved, he created a life grounded in meaning and purpose. His gentle presence brought comfort; his not so funny jokes sparked laughter; and the stories he shared carried wisdom, warmth, and truth.
He was predeceased by his wife, Clarisce, and his parents. He is survived by his children-Maria (VT), Richard Jr. (FL), and Debra and John (Deerfield), who tenderly cared for him in his later years-as well as seven grandchildren and one great-grandson.
A Calling Hour will be Saturday from 2 to 3 pm at the Wrisley Funeral Home on Sugarloaf St South Deerfield.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Pioneer Valley Hospice & Palliative Care, 101 Munson St., Greenfield, MA 01301 or Catholic TV Network, P.O. Box 9196, Watertown, MA 02471
Dzi?kujemy Ci, Tato. Spoczywaj w pokoju. "Thank you, Dad. Rest in peace."

His son Richard Zuron was my first boyfriend. We were in 5th grade. Had Mrs Chamberland as one of our teachers. Richard Jr. Was on the football team. We were the cheerleaders. We each cheered for someone on the team. I chose Richard. I never met his parents as childhood dating was so innocent. Sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all.
