Richard D. Collette
Feb. 22, 1959 ~ Dec. 3, 2025
Happy first Heavenly birthday Rick … a life well lived.
Laconia born, Tilton raised, he took flight from New Hampshire at an early age. Living in Idaho, Hawaii for many years before he “alighted,” loved the Island of St. Croix, USVI for 30 plus years.
Ricks life compass was his heart, measuring wealth by love of/for his family and numerous life-long friends. Rick was friend to everyone he met, made every person feel valued and loved. This love united him with his long-term friend Linda E. Moody whom he met in St. Croix.
They were married in February 2024. Linda, passed away suddenly in November 2025. They are now united in eternity, however, always alive in our hearts.
To all family/friends reading this, please know, trust that as long as New England sports teams exist, Ricks voice be heard from afar.
“May your spirit be bathed in the serenity of God and all of his gifts of Nature” until we meet again.
With love, your family and friends
