Richard G. Thorington

Richard G. Thorington, 82, of Fisher Ave., Cortland, passed away following a brief illness on March 9, 2017 in Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse.

He was born September 21, 1934 in Cortland, a son of the late Alfred and Velma Soules Thorington.

He started work for Suit-Kote in the early 1970’s, and was waiting to be called back to work this spring before becoming ill.

To say Dick was a family man is understatement. He loved his large and extended family very much, especially his wife, Kathi L. Wood Thorington, his children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and his Suit-Kote ‘family’.

Calling hours will be held on Wednesday from 10 a.m. until the time of the service.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 15, 2017 at the Donald L. Barber Funeral Home, 5016 US Route 11, Homer. Interment will follow in Atwater Cemetery, Homer.

Mr. Thorington loved horses and his family would appreciate memorial contributions in his name be directed to an Equine Therapy Program of your choosing or to the charity of your choice.
