Dick Constable

It is with great sadness that I must share that Richard (Dick) Constable passed away in his sleep early Saturday morning, June 15 at the Waveny Care Center.

A resident since 1962, Dad was a kind, gentle and compassionate man. I think he cherished our little neighborhood, somewhat insulated from a town that’s grown and changed so much over the years. He had so many wonderful memories of his life here, and of the friends and families that have come and gone over the years. He always wanted to thank the mystery neighbor who shoveled snow from the front walk on more than one occasion – a belated thank you.

He will be missed…

Love and warmest regards to all, and hug your dads on this bittersweet Father’s Day.

Tom Constable

There will be a memorial service Saturday, September 21 at 1 PM at the Unitarian Church in Westport, 10 Lyons Plains Road. All are welcome.
