Rick was born July 6, 1942, in Tupper Lake, eldest son of Edmond and Frances Bujold. He completed his education in Tupper Lake and later served in the United States Army, receiving an honorable discharge in 1968.
Rick went on to become a licensed electrician, working the majority of his long career for O’Connell Electric of Rochester, N.Y., was a 58-year member of the I.B.E.W., and was known by his employers and all that knew him for his exceptional work ethic.
Rick was also a licensed firearms dealer and lifelong, active member of the NRA. He was widely known for his avid love of reading and longtime support of the local library, serving on the Tupper Lake Public (Goff-Nelson Memorial) Library Board of Trustees. Rick also thoroughly enjoyed traveling and adventuring near and far with his wife, Kelly.
Most of all, Rick deeply loved and cherished his family above all else. He felt most blessed and happiest in the presence of his wife, children, their spouses, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. At these times, he would say, “I’m the luckiest man in the world!”
Rick was predeceased by his parents, Edmond and Frances Bujold; brothers, Gary Bujold and Ronald Bujold; nephew Ronald Bujold Jr. and grandson, Jaycee Carson.
