"Waring" was a favorite teacher and mentor to my HS bestie and I. I will always treasure FIRST Robotics, our trips, and classes we took. It was a joy for my friend and I to excell in class and "Show the Boys". (We often visited my Mom who was a cafeteria worker, for cookies during class, sneaking out the back door). I know it's several years after Rich passed, but i often think of him and other MHS teachers. I still have my shop project to this day. Thanks Waring! You made HS fun!

I am so saddened to hear of Richard's passing. I am an old friend from high school and was surfing the web trying to locate friends I had lost contact with when I came across this shocking news. He was a very good friend .My sympathy to his family. Barb Wilcox Widler Jupiter,florida

Rich was my school teacher and a life-long friend. He taught me things throughout my life. He stayed at our home in South Carolina when he was down this way. He will be very much missed.

Oh, Gosh, one of my high school heros has gone. He probably doesn't know how much I looked up to him then, and how much I appreciated his continueing friendship over the years. I really enjoyed reading the letters from the English canal trip, too! My contact with him was pretty scattered and sporadic, but this does seem sudden and un, un, just unfair!

To the family of Richard Waring
I just received news of Richard´s passing and it saddens me greatly.
I was a colleage of his at Montville High School for a few years before my retirement and though our paths did not cross often, he wrote me a lovely note on my retirement. I cherish it.
Please accept my sincere condolences.

Richard was a kind and caring neighbor & friend. He willingly helped others and offered the expertise of his IA craft. I am most grateful for the help of Richard, and his son, on a small carpentry project that I needed done, while I was caring for my Mom. Not only did he assist in the project, but I learned much from that experience..... Knowledge that I will cherish and expand upon for years to come. Richard, you will be dearly missed! I offer all his family, friends, and loved ones my sincere condolences.

Dear Michael, Peter, Dede and family,
In the Hartford Courant on Monday morning, July 12th, I was sad to see that you lost your brother Richard.
The last time I saw Richard, it was at Glastonbury Center, with my Father, in the late eighties. Though I didn't recognize him at first, as soon as he spoke, I knew by his warm eyes and wonderful smile that it was Richard.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Most Sincerely,
Sally McGill Goodwin

Richard Waring was my Industrial Arts teacher at Portland High School in the late 70s. He was one of the teachers that had a lasting and memorable effect on my life. By teaching me to work with my hands and wood, he laid the groundwork for a lifetime of building and sculpting. I was sorry to read about his passing and will always remember him fondly.
My sincere condolences,

Dear Beth and family,
I remember when Rich asked us to pray for you during your illness. I was fortunate to see him at some of the homecoming events. I was a soccer teammate, and a classmate(we played the same position). I send you my heartfelt sorrow for everyone's loss. May God comfort you, and may his memories be shared by all.
