We are heartbroken to share the news of Richard Kennedy’s peaceful passing at the age of 80. He was a devoted husband to Adrienne (nee Roy) for 60 wonderful years. Richard is survived by his loving children John and Kellie (Ken), and he adored being Pepe to Scott (Ashley), Stephanie (Justin), Samantha (Tom), Steven (Lisa), John, Aaron, along with his great-grandchildren Maddy, Adrian, Bella, Brody, Logan, Isaac and Lyla. His many nieces and nephews will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his parents Robert Kennedy Sr. and Doris Pipe, as well as his twin brother Robert (Yvette). He also lost siblings Carol, Brian, Heather, Bobby, Stewart, Wayne, Grant and Bruce. He is survived by his brothers David and sisters Karen and Cathy.
Richard was a loving son-in-law to the late Etienne and Claire. He was a cherished brother-in-law to Andre (Marilyn), Antoinette, late Angie (late Roland), Francois, Jeanne (Bob), Greg (Donna), Jerome (Cathy), Claire-Marie (late Doug), Carmelle (Jeff).
Richard truly was the backbone of his family. His dedication showed in everything he did-from taking care of his yard to watering flowers and mowing the lawn. He had an immense love for his grandchildren who brought so much happiness into his life. He loved playing cards and would take on anyone willing to play. Sunday nights dancing at the Good Neighbor Club in Belle River were some of his favorite times. After 36 years with Chryslers, he retired but remained proud of being part of local 444.
The family wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to caregivers Rama, Saraa, Elijah and Joe for their exceptional care and compassion during this time as well as all other health care providers involved in Richard’s care.
