Dear Bea and Family,
I remember on one occasion, I stopped at your house unannounced after dropping my son at Boy Scout Camp. Diane was in the hospital in Burlington and my father had died recently. You weren’t home but came home right away. I always appreciated how thoughtful you both were. Diane and I always enjoyed out times together with you and Dick.
Take good care.

Dear Bea, Sharon, and Julie,
We just learned of Dick's death this week in a magazine published by Plattsburgh State. How shocked and sad we were to hear. Dick was a terrific guy and we missed seeing you, Bea, and Dick after you moved to the Carolinas. You have our deepest sympathy and know he will be sorely missed. We know it has been nine months since he died and we are sorry we didn't know sooner. We hope God has been with you and comforted you during this painful time.

Dear Bea, Sharon and Julia:
My heart sank when I read of Dick's passing. The jolt sent me back several years ago, when Dick gave the MCSD crew some wonderful laughs and smiles! You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless! Christine

Bea, Sharon, Julie and families,
I was so sorry to read about the passing of Dick in the newspaper yesterday. Dick worked rght up the stairs from my classroom for many years and not only was he a true professional always there to help kids but a fun loving colleague. I think back on our many Flanders parties and Dick was a huge part of our fun times.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. My memories of all of you will be with me forever. I hope in the days ahead that all the joy Dick brought will help your family through the difficult times ahead.

Throughout life we meet many people, some of them quite exceptional. Richard "Dick" Poissant was one of the most exceptional one could ever meet. His personality was one that was magnetic. I never knew anyone who didn't have good things to say about him. Dick and Bea were truly a couple who, once you met them, you looked forward to meeting them again.
"Sam" and I shall always miss his humor and genuine concern for others. He is now with our lord,no pain, happy, and probably looking down and thinking,:Don't" morn my passing, rejoice at my being where I was intended to be.
We shall NEVER forget Dick or stop thinking about him and the wonderful time we all had together. Chuck & Sam

Bea, Sharon, Julie & family,
We will miss Dick a lot for a long time to come. I guess you know he was our favorite brother-in-law. We have always respected him for being a great husband and a father. We send our deepest condolences to each of you. We are here if you need us.

Bea, Sharon, Julie and families, I am saddened to learn of Dick's passing. I so enjoyed working as Dick's secretary at the Board office in Malone back in the 1980s. He was kind, caring and passionate about education. He spoke often about his "girls" during the day, and it was obvious that he not only was proud of you, but loved you dearly. I send you my prayers and love.

Mrs. Poissant, I only knew you and Richard for such a short time. He was always a ray of sunshine. Always smiling and never complained. I will miss him dearly. God bless you and your family and ease your sorrow.

Bea, Sharon, Julie and family,
What a great pleasure to get to know Dick in the past few years. The love that your family shares was evident every time you all were together. His great desire to put everyone at ease and to get a laugh made him such a joy to be around. And we know where Sharon got some of those jokes from (although we won't blame the bad ones on Dick ). My family will be praying for your comfort in the days to come and please know that you are loved by many just as Dick was. Love, Kara, Matt and Drew Jarboe
