Richard Leo Corrigan, age 48 of Bedford, passed away suddenly at home on November 5, 2024.

Richard was born in Stoneham on March 6, 1976, son of Rose Marie and the late Leo J Corrigan. He went to Bedford High School and graduated in 1995. He worked at Bentley University in Facilities Management.

Richard's whole life, he enjoyed watching and playing sports. Growing up, he loved summers, swimming and vacationing in York, Maine.

Richard had a gift of seeing only the positive potential in others and making you feel good about yourself. He was a lot of people's cheerleader and person that others would turn to, when they needed to feel good. He gave a lot of insightful advice. He was a "Light" and healed a lot of people -- even his hugs were healing. He loved to laugh and joke around. You always saw him with a smile on his face! He will be greatly missed by all that were in his presence!

Remember Me

Don't remember me with sadness,

Don't remember me with tears,

Remember all the good times,

Shared throughout the years.

Now I am contented

That my life, it was worthwhile,

Because I know by loving you

That I made you smile.

When you are walking down the street

And you've got me on your mind,

I'm walking in your footsteps

Only half a step behind.

So please don't be unhappy

Just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with you

Every morning, noon and night.
