Richard Robert Garand, age 75, of Sunset Drive, St. Johnsbury, Vt., passed unexpectedly at his home Saturday, April 4, 2020.
Richard was born in St. Johnsbury on December 6, 1944, son to the late Raymond and Yvonne Josephine (Mignault) Garand. He was raised and educated in
St. Johnsbury graduating from the St. J Trade School. Dick immediately entered the military serving in the U.S. Army. He was very proud of the fact that
he served his country in Vietnam and has loved sharing his experiences while there. He worked as an auto-glass tech for years starting with Mayos and
Northeast Glass, Portland Glass and retiring from Windshield World. In his early years he enjoyed hunting and liked to cruise the roads of Waterford
just trying to spot a deer, but fishing was his hobby throughout his life, especially at Moore Dam. Dick really enjoyed spending time with his sons.
He was a people person, had a big smile and was always looking for a laugh.
He is survived by his wife, Janice Evelyn (Reil) Garand of St. Johnsbury; 4 sons: Kevin of St. Johnsbury, Vt., Curtis and wife, Linda, of Albuquerque, N.M.,
Mark of Westbrook, Maine, and Bradley of Portland, Maine; two brothers: Robert of St. Johnsbury, Vt., and Ray of Portland, Maine; and
