Obituary: Christopher Richie, Longtime Croton Falls Firefighter

Christopher ‘Doc’ Richie passed away peacefully at the Firemen’s Home, FASNY in Hudson, NY at the age of 74.

He was the son of Donald W. Richie MD and Margaret Ostrander Richie of Croton Falls. Chris graduated from North Salem High School and attended Franklin Pierce College.

He worked for NYC DEP for many years, but most important to him was his 55 years as a volunteer in the Croton Falls Fire Department. He moved to the Firemen’s Home where he became an active member.

Chris was pre-deceased by three older step-siblings, Sally Scotton, Patricia Locke and Donald (Woody) Richie. He is survived by his sister, Susan Richie Moga of Sherman, CT.
