Richard A. Henshaw Obituary

With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Richard A. Henshaw of Wakefield, Massachusetts, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Richard A. left this world on December 5, 2024 at the age of 91, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid adieu to Richard A.'s earthly form, let us not dwell on the void left in his wake, but rather celebrate the legacy of love and inspiration Richard A. has bequeathed us. For though he may have departed from our sight, his spirit remains a timeless beacon, guiding loved ones through the labyrinth of life's journey.

Visitation was held on Sunday, December 15th 2024 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Robinson Funeral Home, Inc. (809 Main St, Melrose, MA 02176). For his 90th birthday, when COVID prohibited a gathering, his children and their friends, Internet-savvy fans of the soon-to-be nonagenarian, sent out an appeal.

Instead of flowers, please honor Hoop by making a donation to the Wakefield Food Pantry, P.O. Box 1624, Wakefield, MA 01880...and by relaxing more.
