Obituary for Richard L. Pennachi
Richard L. Pennachi, 64, a resident of Dracut, passed away on Sunday April 10, 2022 at Fairhaven Healthcare Center in Lowell.
He was born in Lowell on August 17, 1957 and was the son of June Ann (Smith) Pennachi and the late Joseph A. Pennachi.
He worked as an electronics assembler for many years. He had also worked as “the bad guy cowboy” at the old Benson’s Wild Animal Farm in Hudson, NH. In his younger years, Richard served in the US Army for a short period of time.
Richard was very creative and enjoyed making jewelry. He really found comfort in the outdoors and all it had to offer. He loved the mountains, climbing Mount Monadnock and travelling to various state parks across the country. He had a great knowledge of archeology an would often be found searching for dinosaur bones, gold, silver and different types of rocks and stones. He also liked to take rides looking for meteorites.

Pennachi and his wife Karen of Pelham, NH and Ernest L. Pennachi of Dracut, his nieces and nephew; Kristen, Sarah, Michael, Rachael and Olivia.
