Richard C. Tofuri – of Merrimack NH, formerly of Schooner Bay, Ft Myers, FL, Woburn and Essex, MA, August 12th, at seventy-nine years of age.
Born in Winchester, Richard was a son of the late Andrew and Josephine (Tropea) Tofuri. After graduating from Woburn High School, Rich served his country proudly in the United States Air Force until being honorably discharged.
For many years, Rich worked as an engineer for Varian Associates in Beverly, MA. While working there, Rich lived in Essex. He loved being by the ocean and especially sea clamming.
After retiring, Rich moved to Florida, where he volunteered his time, driving the shuttle, for Lee Memorial Hospital in Ft. Meyers, FL.
In his free time he enjoyed, gardening, fishing and cooking for his family. His family was his world and he enjoyed nothing more than spending time with them. He was a devoted, loving and selfless father, grandfather and friend whom will be deeply missed.

I met Rich at Schooner Bay. He would come to our Patriots game get togethers at Don and Christine Isles condo. He was very quiet and always brought a pie for desert. He is missed! We are having a Patriot game party tomorrow and sure we will talk about him.
So very sorry for your loss. Rich was a part of our Patriot Gang, he will be missed.
My Sympathy to his Family-Dickie as we called him in Woburn High School class of 59 was a good friend
in our early days . Dan Salvati
Met Rich when we bought at Schooner Bay several years ago.
He was a wonderful man and friend. He also volunteered his time at Lee Memorial. He was a member of our weekly Patriot Game football Game get togethers.
We will miss him, but have great memories

Sorry to hear of my cousin, Richard’s passing. Lots of memories growing up together.
Prayers for Drew and family.
I first met Richie when he showed up in Florida in 2008, we hit it off immediately, our interests were the same, we shared many exciting things, especially fishing from shore and out of a Kayak. I can easily say Rich was one of my best friends and miss him alot. It’s good to know he didnt have to suffer to long. May god be with him. Truman

I want to extend my condolences to you and your families on your Dad’s passing. We had a lot of memorable times together over the years, especially when he was doing the cooking while trying to convince everybody in attendance that I was much older than him. He has passed but the memories will remain. Love to you all.
