Obituary for Richard Joseph McInerny
Richard Joseph Mclnerny, age 69, of Ludlow, passed away with dignity on February 14th surrounded by his loving family. Rick was the cherished son of the late Henry and Virginia McInerny. He served as a teacher and special education administrator in Holden, Ludlow, Mohawk Trail, Belchertown, Auburn, and at the Westover Job Corps. Rick loved the ocean and enjoyed fishing at the Cape with family and friends. His greatest joy came from taking his grandchildren fishing on the Captain Kid. As a kidney-pancreas recipient, Rick was always thankful that someone made the choice to be an organ donor. He was lucky to have been cared for by a multitude of skilled and caring doctors, nurses, and their support staff. His family would like to thank Dr. George Lipkowitz, Dr. Robert Madden, and the entire staff of Kidney Care.Rick was the devoted husband of 45 years to Gala-Ann (Mariani) McInerny; a proud and loving father to Caitlin-Ann Clemons and her husband Nicholas, and Jacob Raymond McInerny and his wife Erica; a beloved Papa to Olivia, Natalie, and Colton. He also leaves his siblings Carol McCrohon and husband Robert, Mary Clark, and James McInerny and wife Linda; his sister-in-law Mary-Beth Will and her husband Gary; many nieces and nephews, and dear friends. Visiting hours are on February 23rd from 10:00-11:00 at Ludlow Funeral Home. Services and burial will be held privately by his family. In lieu of flowers, donations to Ludlow Ambulance Service (Gifts & Grants), Team Britt M&M at New England Donor Services, or St. Jude Children’s Hospital. His family hopes you can join us at the CT Blue and Green Walk in April.
