Modery and Marguerite Modery Thomas. Richard was drafted into the Army in October of 1962 and was honorably discharged in 1964.

During the winter he would gather with relatives and friends at Pushaw Lake to ice fish. Surviving are his wife, Barbara Modery of Bangor; two sons, Richard Modery and his wife, Jennifer of Orrington, Eric Modery; grandchildren, Amber Snyder and Andrew Modery; brothers, John Modery, Clarence Modery, both of Hermon and Melvin Thomas of Hudson; a sister, Linda Hayes of Washington; nieces and nephews; his beloved canine buddy, Robin, and feline pals, Christmas and Linda.
