2012 Annual Town Report

TOWN OF WEBSTER NEW HAMPSHIRE “GOT HOPE” Photo Courtesy of Mason Donovan 2012 A N N U A L R E P O R T 2013 Warrant and Budget THE 2012 WEBSTER TOWN REPORT IS DEDICATED TO RICHARD R. DOUCETTE This year’s town report is dedicated to a person many in Town may not have known because he went about doing good quietly and making a difference without fanfare. He was his own man and had the self- assurance to do what he thought was the right thing without worrying about what others thought. Richard R. Doucette, (Richie) grew up in Long Island and served in a Seabee Battalion during his Navy enlistment. Following his discharge in 1972, he moved to Penacook, N. H. He and his wife, Joan, moved to Webster on September 15, 1978 to the little house on Battle Street be- tween the old Anderson Memorial Church and the best neighbors anyone could ever ask for. Together, he and Joan raised two children, Renee and Adam. For most of his adult life, Richie worked in wholesale paper sales. He had long commutes but chose not to move closer to work because he and Joan loved the Webster community. A central focus in Richie’s life was his church, the Wesley United Meth- odist. He was a lay leader and Sunday school teacher and also served and led many committees and church groups over the years. He made four mission trips through the church, two to help rebuild homes in Kentucky and two trips to Nicaragua. He also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and built three homes in the area. Richie is a Past Master of Harris Lodge #91 in Warner. He was a great example of what masons say about taking a good man and making him better. With his background in the Seabees, his volunteer building projects in his mission work and Habitat for Humanity, the building and architectural sym- bolism in Masonry was a natural fit. Ritchie went through the chairs to the East and is a Past Master of Harris Lodge (dates). Richie served on the Webster Planning Board from 2005 until his passing in 2012. He was a dedicated, thoughtful, member who took his duties serious- ly but could also be counted on for some dry humor to lighten the work of the board. He also holds the distinction of being the only Webster Planning Board member to ever have participated in a regular planning board meeting by tele- phone – while hospitalized. If you didn’t know Richie well before, we hope you now know him a little. He’d wave off all this praise and crack a dry joke with a smile. Whatev- er he was doing was just something he felt should be done. No big deal.
