Richard Bennett
Rich Bennett, 63, beloved husband of Joan (McPartlin) Bennett, died on Friday, October 30, 2015 at Massachusetts General Hospital after an extended illness.
Rich was born in Lancaster, PA. He attended Towson State University in Maryland. He went on to obtain a Master’s degree at the University of Connecticut and his doctorate in psychology from Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology.
For many years Rich had a private psychology practice in Westford. He was very proud of the work he did with his clients especially those dealing with issues of substance abuse. He was very active in the Westford Rotary Club where he served as President and was a Paul Harris Fellow. In addition, he was a former trustee of the J.V. Fletcher Library and an Officer of the Friends of the Library.
Later in his career, he worked for RHR and Plaut as an organizational consultant to Fortune 500 companies dealing with issues of change management.
Eight and a half years ago Rich was fortunate enough to be the recipient of a heart transplant. As a result he treasured each day. He was a huge promoter of encouraging everyone to become an organ donor when they renew their driver license. Please consider doing this in his memory.
In addition to his wife with whom he would have celebrated thirty years of marriage in February, he is survived by his loving son, Keith Boulanger, his daughter in law Cyril and his grandson, Zacch, of Billerica. He is also survived by his mother, Jeanne Bennett, of Cornwall, PA., his sisters Nancy Brown and her husband Charles of Newtown, PA, Suzie Greiner of Stroudsburg, PA, Barbara Herr of Los Angeles, CA and a special cousin, Sarah Spillane, of Upton, MA.
