Biography

Richard Bellrose was 75 when he passed away within 2 weeks of being diagnosed with multiple myeloma and other complications from agent Orange at the Benefis Peace Hospice in Great Falls Montana. Rich was born in Massachusetts on 5 July 1947, 1 of 4 children born to Pete and Bonnie Bellrose. He graduated Wachusett Regional High School in 1965 and went on to graduate Worcester Jr. College in 1967. He was drafted into the United States Army on 26 March 1969. He was deployed to a reconnaissance platoon for his year in Viet Nam where he came down and survived 2 types of malaria.

He came home a different young man then when he left, but he returned to Stancliff Inc. the place that held his job for him while he served. He was with them for 42 years when he retired and we moved to Montana where he found peace.

He is missed by all of us ... his service dog ... me- his wife of almost 36 years, his 2 sons and his daughter. We're all grieving his loss.

In memory of a true friend

Rich will be missed by all that knew him! He was a caring, giving, kind man. I will remember his laugh and kindness. He loved his family, friends and country. He sacrificed a lot for all of us, including his fellow countrymen who never had the pleasure of knowing him!
He had a warm heart and stand up character that all should take notice of and aspire to be like.
Love to you my dear friend!
