It is with great sadness the family of Richard “Ricky” Barry DeMone, 50, of Lunenburg announces his passing on Friday, August 2, 2019 at South Shore Regional Hospital Bridgewater.
Born in Lunenburg, he was a son of the late Fred “Buddy” and Betty (Liddell) DeMone.

He was a long-time member of the Lunenburg Fire Department for 26 years, the last few as an honourary member, due to his illness.
Ricky’s first love was his son Jake, followed by his love for his constant companion, his kitty, “Mitzy”. Many will remember his passion for model railroads, of which he had many, as well as his love and talent to draw, especially house plans and vehicles.
