It is with heavy
hearts that we have to say good bye to our brother, friend, partner, father and
husband as he finds his way to final peace. Rich was a 'one of a kind' guy who
never hesitated to offer a hand or himself in support in every facet of the
Gatekeepers Motorcycle Club and activities. Quick with a smile, fast with a joke
the first to volunteer, Rich's style was to set the example for all others
to follow. He will forever be in our thoughts, our hearts and forever a
Gatekeeper.
Richard A. Deabay, age 55, of East Lyme,
died Sunday following a motorcycle accident. He was the husband of Donna Deabay,
and the father of two daughters.
Rich was laid to rest on Thursday June 4,
2009.
