Richard Thomas Hebert, born January 22, 1940, passed on to be with his heavenly Father on January 17. He was born in Burlington, Vermont, and graduated from the University of Ottawa. Richard was a gentle man who will be deeply missed by his loving wife Maria of 39 years.
He leaves behind his sisters: Marilyn, Monica and Cathy; and brother-in-law, Carl, as well as many friends. Richard and Maria came to the Island of St. Croix in 1983 and began Golden Rock Appliance Store. He later worked at St. Croix Insurance and First Insurance in sales. He was actively involved in Holy Cross Catholic Church as a eucharistic minister and fundraiser for the Bishop’s Appeal. His unselfishness and compassion for others will be dearly remembered.
Holy Mass will be celebrated for Richard at the Holy Cross Catholic Church at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 21. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Mary’s Catholic School.
He will be laid to rest at Kingshill Cemetery. Professional services are entrusted to James Memorial Funeral Home Inc.
