MOREAU – Richard G., “Ritchie”, 58, of Port Medway, passed away suddenly on Saturday, May 5, 2018 as a result of a tragic boating accident in Port Medway Harbour.
Born in Liverpool, he was a son of the late Linwood and Doris (Clattenburg) Moreau.
Ritchie was a fisherman all his life. He was a former employee with Medway Fisheries before starting his own business with his companion “Liz”, R&L Seafoods. He could always be seen selling his fish products from his truck. He enjoyed bowling in his younger years but will also be fondly remembered for his decorations at Christmastime in a friendly “competition” with his neighbor.
He is survived by his sisters Nancy Moreau (“Mike” Crouse) of Nineveh; Kathy (Chris) Burgess of Port Medway; his niece and great nieces Kayla Burgess (Corey McBride) of Spryfield and their children Lexie, Lita and Lily as well as his niece Sherri Roy of North River and his nephew Brandon Burgess.
Ritchie was sadly predeceased by his companion, the love of his life, Ileta “Liz” O’Connell.
