SWANTON - Richard P. Chalifoux, age 66, passed away unexpectedly on May 8, 2020 in Swanton.
He was born on March 10, 1954 in St. Albans to the late Andre & Celina (Couture) Chalifoux.
Richard grew up in Richford and graduated from Richford High School. He was a hardworking, caring, generous and loyal man. He spent decades working as a hired hand for Brouillette Farms, and 12 years dedicated to WestRock where he recently retired from. After retirement he continued with his respectable work ethic, working for Rene Fournier as a truck driver. When Richard wasnt working, he enjoyed attending car shows, tractor pulls, and visiting antique museums. It was no secret that Richard was a fan of Case tractors and Ford cars.

Myers, FL, Robert Chalifoux and his wife Carol of Vergennes, and his twin brother Real Chalifoux and his wife Darlene of Richford; and several nieces, nephews, cousins and two special friends in Iowa, David and Robert. Besides his parents, Richard was predeceased by his son, Paul R. Chalifoux in 2007; and his brother, John Chalifoux in 2017.
