Richard T. Eaton, 69, of Folsom Road, died Jan. 18, 2001 at his home after a courageous struggle with cancer. "Dickie" was born Feb. 17, 1932 in Newburyport, Mass., where he had lived most of his life before moving to Center Ossipee in 1978 with his loving wife and family.
The "Captain" was best known as "Banpa" to all the children who he came to know and love. He loved to travel, read, watch wrestling, dance, listen to country music and spend time with family. He was a fine man who could be counted on at any time, day or night, for any reason. "Dickie" worked for himself as a respected carpenter and jack-of-all-trades.
