Richard Dennis Hope Sr.

Richard Hope, 67, of Patchogue, New York, died peacefully on February 3, 2024 after an almost three and a half year long battle against ALS. Richard, son of Albert and Ella Hope is survived by his loving wife, Gail, his two sons, Richard and Daniel, as well as his two daughters in law, Jenna and Brittany and his seven grandchildren who love their papa more than anything.

Richard was a lifelong bayman on the Great South Bay. He was a skilled fisherman and bow hunter and taught those skills to his sons. He enjoyed spending time with his family, and playing with his grandchildren.

He is sorely missed but his family is taking comfort that he is no longer suffering and that he is whole again.

His family will always lovingly remember to, “take care, do the hair.”
