It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of our brother Rick on September 25, 2018. He arrived in the world on February 25, 1950, the third child of the late Alan and June (O'Connor) Mooney. Rick graduated from Wethersfield High School, class of 1968. He attended St Francis College (68-70), then enlisted into the U.S Marines. He proudly served his country (70-72) in Vietnam, however, he was never able to escape to the demons of war. He worked at the Millstone Nuclear Power Plant for several years. He was a generous soul, with a heart of gold who always fought for the underdog and underprivileged. He gave away all that he had to charity, friends, strangers or anyone in need. Rick was a gifted athlete and one tough kid. Anyone that knew him agreed it was always best to be on Rick's "good side". He loved Notre Dame football and Bassett hounds. As sad as we are, we can all rest knowing Rick is finally at peace. Just imagine the gleam in his eyes when he was reunited with Remington, his Bassett Hound. Semper Fi.
Rick is survived by his sister, three brothers, as well as several nieces and nephews.
