Richard James Birdsall, aged 55, a resident of the Town of Lagrangeville, N.Y. for over 30 years and formerly of Mount Kisco, N.Y. died on January 31st, 2022 at Vassar Brothers Hospital in the City of Poughkeepsie, N.Y due to complications of CovID.

Born in New York, N.Y. on March 26th, 1966, he was the son of Zita C. Birdsall Hidrovo and the late James R. Birdsall of the Town of Lagrangeville, N.Y. He was proudly self-employed, a Mechanical Engineer by trade. Rich, or Ricky as his childhood friends called him, had an uncanny ability to create something from nothing where the only tools he needed was his imagination and time. Rich had semi-retired to live and work on the family property upon our Father's passing. Internet savvy, he promoted several business interests via social networks later in life including his online Ministry. A dog lover since childhood, he had unbounded adoration of all living things. Sacrificing himself for the benefit of others, Rick was known for encouraging the best in all that surrounded him. He was a man of strong will and even stronger faith. He loved Jesus but most of all, he loved his family.

He is survived by his mother, Zita C. Birdsall of the Town of Lagrangeville, N.Y. and his two younger brothers, Jack G. Birdsall of Brooklyn, N,Y., Edward R. Birdsall of Brewster, N.Y., and his loving nephew Dylan J. Birdsall of Brewster, N.Y.

Calling hours will be held on Saturday February 19th from 11:00am-1:00pm at the Hopewell Reformed Church, 143 Beekman Road, Hopewell Junction, N.Y., a funeral service will begin shortly afterwards with internment at the Hopewell Cemetery onsite alongside his Father.
