Richard Moulton February 22, 1966 - March 21, 2023

Date of Funeral

March 31, 2023

In loving memory of Richard Verne Moulton (Sloth, Richie) born February 22, 1966, age 57, passed away unexpectedly at his residence on Tuesday, March 21, 2023.

He is Survived by his Mother Maxine Moulton, and extended family members, predeceased by his Father Verne Moulton and son Jarret Moulton.

Richard was a gentle giant, 3 weeks early weighing in at 5 pounds 10.5 ounces at birth, anyone who knew him couldn’t help but like the dude. He enjoyed his time moose hunting, and looked forward to the annual moose hunt with ‘the Boys’. He very much enjoyed his Harley, we are talking about the bike first and then of course his loving companion dog Harley D. He also could be found out at the rifle and pistol range trying out his latest purchase or out fishing, but let’s not forget his bestest buds; Jim Mallard, Bryan Buffet, Tony Linklater, and Pat Titze.

Richard will be sadly missed by many. ‘Let’s Ride’

There will be no visitation as cremation has taken place.

A Memorial Service will take place on Friday, March 31, 2023 at 1 p.m. at the Dryden Community Funeral Home with Rev. Naboth Manzongo officiating.

Interment will follow in the Dryden Cemetery.
