GLENS FALLS --- Paul Francis Richmond, 83, passed away at home with his loving wife by his side on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 after a courageous fight with several health conditions.

Born April 30, 1941 in Troy N.Y., he was the son of Almeron Richmond and Helen "Nellie" (Buckley).

Paul graduated from Shaker High School. He was awarded a continuing Education certificate from WSWHE BOCES for machine shop in 1994.

On July 15, 1989 he married the love of his life Janice Sarr. They celebrated their 35-year anniversary the day before his passing.

He was an extremely talented machinist, working for AES (also known as Kadant), from which he retired.

Over the years, Paul enjoyed square dancing with his wife, going to garage sales collecting knickknacks and anything crafted out of wood, which he collected for many years, his weekly trips to Stewarts to purchase his scratch off lottery tickets, and gardening.  Even most recently he was able to enjoy visiting garage sales, spending time with and going to dinner with friends, and old classic car shows.

In addition to his parents, Paul was predeceased by his siblings, Thomas "Tom", Robert "Bob", Almeron "Al", Helen, and Kathleen "Kay".

Those left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife, Janice Richmond; his children, Mary Sue (Dan) Saville, Joe Richmond, Kelly Richmond, Dawn (Peter) Marshall; her children, Louis (Barbara) Davis, Catherine Coleman, and Dawn Rodgers; sister, Marian Acker; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws; also, his beloved cat, IdaMae who would sit on his lap for hours.

In memory of Paul donations can be made to High Peaks Hospice, 1247 Dix Ave, Hudson Falls, NY 12801.

The family wishes to extend a sincere thank you to Glens Falls Hospital, High Peaks Hospice, Kathy Edmundson, and Rayeanne Morin for their care and compassion.

At Paul's request, there will be no calling hours and the burial will be private.
