Obituary of Richard T. Slade

Honeoye Falls, Honeoye

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Richard T. Slade, on April 10, 2025, at the age of 72 surrounded by family. He was predeceased by his parents, Richard L. and Verna Slade and sister Patty East.

Survived by his loving wife, Jane, of 52 years, Dick was a proud father to Shea (Rebecca) Slade of Honeoye and Sara (Aaron) Graham of Bloomfield and a cherished Papa to his four grandchildren, Tyler and Abigail Graham and Payton and Kylie Slade. A loving brother to Darlene (Dan) Robbins and cherished by many family and friends.

Born in Rochester, NY to Richard L. and Verna Slade of Honeoye Falls, NY. Graduated from Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School in 1971 before marrying Jane Cavalier.

Dick worked for many years at Eastman Kodak and Enarco in Honeoye Falls.

Dick was a devoted husband who always put the needs of his family first. He was a constant presence of love, strength and support in all of our lives. Dick will be remembered for his warm heart, kind spirit, quiet strength, non-judgmental soul and the love he gave to his family and friends.

At home, his greatest happiness came from time spent in his shop, visiting with his family and close friends having a beer together. He always had a project going.  Dick's children and grandchildren were the light of his life and he supported their many activities.

No prior calling or services will be held. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories, which we will all share at his Celebration of Life Gathering, which will take place during the summer; when the grass is green, and the sun is shining.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Richard Slade's memory to Richmond Fire Department Ambulance, PO Box 469, Honeoye, NY 14471.
