[Troop139] Rich Curran Scout/Scouter from Troop 139 Passed Away on Sunday

[James Gordon Beattie Jr]

Brothers,

Rich Curran who grew up in Bergenfield, attended St. John's School and was a Scout in Troop 139 passed away last Sunday.  Rich reached the rank of Life Scout, his older brother was one of the early Eagle Scouts.  Rich was an infectious and capable Scouter and an inspiration to many of us.

Rich's father helped found the Troop in 1942 and was instrumental in taking the former members of the parish's Columbian Cadets (the KoC youth group of the time) and keeping the boys active in the parish through Scouting.

As an adult, Rich married and raised a family in Hillsdale where he supported, mentored and trained many of us Troop 139 Scouters and Scouts along with others through the Weboree, Webelos Woodsman, Klondike Derbys, Camporees and other events.  He also helped many of us prepare to deliver the Catholic Religious programs for our Scouts.  Rich will be missed!

Please say a prayer for Rich!
