Obituary for Richard J. Ladue
Richard "Dick" Ladue, 62, most recently of
Tucson, Arizona, died May 25, 2015.
He was born June
16, 1952 in Plattsburgh, the son of Howard and Rita Ladue.
Dick
graduated from Plattsburgh High School in 1970, attended Paul Smiths
College then relocated to Colorado where he honed his skills as a
stone mason. In the early 1980's he moved to Anchorage, Alaska where
these skills served him well throughout his career as a mason and
chimney specialist.
While in Alaska he assumed his middle name, Joe. Any
Alaskan would have known his great ancestor, Joe Ladue, who founded
Dawson City, Yukon.
Locally, he is survived by his brother,
Dan, of Plattsburgh, his sister, Patricia Irwin of Potstam, his aunt,
Gloria Boyer of Newark, NY, as well as two nieces and many
cousins.
There were no services in Arizona, although a small
graveside memorial occurred recently at the family plot in Redford,
NY.
Hi, my name is Dennis Campbell. I went to school and boarded with Dick in the early 70s at North Country Community College in Saranac lake NY. I'm so sorry to hear about your brothers death. We hung out quite abit after learning we were both Geminis. How cool was that at the time? I could go on but I just want you to know that Dick was a true friend of mine.
