Richard L. Bucarion, 86, of Alliance, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Friday morning July 29, 2022. He was born on January 31, 1936 in Alliance, to the late Nick and Berdine (Boyer) Bucarion. Richard was a member of St. Jos Read Obituary
I never met Richard in person, but I have many fond memories of interactions and friendly banter on the d3football.com boards. Even a year later, his presence is sorely missed. He was a friend to everyone he interacted with on the site, no matter what team they cheered for, or if they were old Mount friends or complete strangers.
RIP Richard, aka MUC 57. I hope you're enjoying another football season up in heaven!
-"Go everybody!"
Richard was a old neighbor of mine yrs ago , we always talked about golf and football... He used to come up to our tailgating at the Mount games just to say hi , he was always making us laugh , suck a great guy , sorry for you loss
Richard was Mount Union Women’s Lacrosse Team’s #1 fan. He loved coming to games and practices and found joy in getting to know all of the players and coaches. We will all miss you Richard!!
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Richard over the years when I worked at the Marathon, Sheets and Sanders Markets. He was a character, always made me laugh by his hijinks in the stores, like trying to fit beer in his coat pocket with ME watching him, lol. Then he would say oh no SHES here, CALL THE COPS!! Funny guy......hadnt seen him in a while though since I moved out of Alliance. Rest In Peace Richard and thanks for the laughs!
Memories of my cousin, Richard Bucarion:
I think he knew every constellation in the sky and where to find them -
He was one of the best dancers I'd ever known -
He was the life of every party he ever went to -
He loved Gretchen with his whole being-they were inseparable until her death -
He was a regular visitor to friends or family in hospital, assisted living or nursing home - It gave him something to do, in addition to providing a little cheer and chuckle to the person he visited -
He knew off the top of his head every statistic ever known about the Mount Union Raiders football teams -
He loved his son and grandson and was very proud of them - you knew it when he talked about them -
His cousins, Karen (Kinsey) Budd, Caroll (Dixon) Bartels, I, (Joan (Dixon) Bench and Richard used to get together for breakfast at Frank's or Perkins and play cards afterward. He was an excellent bridge player -
Us 4 remaining cousins found out there was unclaimed money from our aunts and uncles and grandparents. We each received $325!! -
RIP, Richard - I hope you've reunited with Mary, Gretchen, cousins Karen and Caroll and everyone else you've ever loved.
Our condolences, we were Blessed to talk with him many times over the years at Veterans, Mount Union events and Fairmount Cemetary. God Bless he was an example of living a caring life of love.
Sending our deepest condolences.
Rest in Peace Cousin, may you find everlasting Peace. John Blythe
