Our hearts are heavy as we share the passing of Richard Michael LeClaire on December 19, 2025, following a brave battle with stage 4 lung cancer. A retired marine engineer and dedicated merchant marine, Richie spent his life traveling the world, but his greatest joy was always his family.

Richie was a devoted husband to Kimberly and an incredibly proud father to Sophie and Luca. Whether he was cheering on the lacrosse fields or sharing stories from his days at sea, Richie lit up every room he entered with his generosity and warmth.

To support his wife, Kimberly, and their children, Sophie and Luca, we are seeking donations to help cover the costs of Richie's funeral services and final arrangements. Richie was always the first to offer help to others; now, we hope to return that kindness to his family. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
