Richard A. Larrabee Sr.

On March 23, 1963, he married Theresa Ruth Pecor in Hardwick. They made their home in West Danville. Together, they raised three children.

Richard was a self-employed carpenter. He was a hardworking man who worked tirelessly until his health began to fail in 2015. He was a member of the West Danville Methodist Church. He was a great storyteller. He enjoyed hunting and ice fishing, caring for his lawn and visiting with anyone and everyone. Most of all, he loved spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Survivors include his wife, Theresa Larrabee of West Danville; three children, Lisa Larrabee of Waterbury, Richard A. Larrabee Jr. of Texas and Martin L. Larrabee of Danville; a brother, Dennis Larrabee and his wife, Betty, of Walden; and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Richard was predeceased by many of his siblings and two of his grandsons, Virgil (2007) and Dylan (2010).

A special thank you to his niece, Jenny, for helping to make it possible for Dick to remain in his home during his final weeks.

To honor his request, all services will be private at the convenience of his family. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to American Legion Post 58, 11 Maple St., St. Johnsbury, VT 05819.

Arrangements are in the care of Dian R. Holcomb of Northern Vermont Funeral Service, 60 Elm St., Hardwick. Online condolences are welcomed at northernvermontfuneralservice.com.
