Richard Annis Obituary
NORTHBOROUGH - Richard C. Annis, a longtime Northborough resident, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, March 10, 2020; he was 82 years old and the husband of 61 years to Janet L.

Richard worked over forty years at the former Alfax Paper & Engineering Corporation in Westborough. After his retirement Richard worked part-time for several years with Enterprise Car Rental.
