My condolences to the family and friends of Richard Parker “Dick” Hennessey, whose obituary was in the June 2 Kennebec Journal.

Dick was a staple in Jefferson through his video ventures. He was humble, shy and could be stern if circumstances warranted it, but he was always a gentleman.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dick when I first moved to Jefferson in the mid-1980s and visited his store. It didn’t take long before we were at ease with each other, and began exchanging personal experiences. Mine in the military, and his with the game warden service.

Jefferson and the state of Maine has lost one of its finest.
