Richard Ronald Duerr's Obituary
WILTON-Richard Ronald Duerr, passed away Friday, June 12th 2015 surrounded by his family at his home in Wilton. Rich fought a courageous battle against cancer; he was 73 years old.
Born September 6, 1941 in Brooklyn, NY, he was the son of Alfred and Katherine "Kay" (Kaiser) Duerr.
Rich was a graduate of Lake George High School. He served in the United States Navy from 1959 until his honorable discharge in 1965.
Rich was the loving father of five children including his son Richard of Saratoga Springs, NY, his daughters Donna Duerr of Clarkdale Az., Denise Clark and her husband Stephen of Lake George, NY Linda Tersigni and her companion Joe Wood of Malta, NY and Jolie Stortz and her husband Jeff of Schuylerville, NY.
Rich is also survived by his sister Janet Galindo and her husband Robert of Palm Coast, Fl and their son's James, Christopher and Steven.
Rich was the devoted grandfather of twelve and great grandfather of two. He loved attending his grandchildren's athletic and extracurricular activities.
He was an avid hunter and fisherman who loved camping and boating in the Saratoga/Lake George Region. He always had a home improvement project in the works and was always willing to share his expertise and extend a helping hand to family and friends. Best known for his generosity, sense of humor, questionable scorekeeping in golf, and love of German food, Rich lived his life to the fullest. All those who had the honor of knowing him will miss him greatly.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Rich's longtime companion Toni Salerno, for her love and support.
