JANGO, Richard M. Of Dedham, July 31, 2024. Beloved son of Grace (Dominques) Jango and the late Robert F. Jango. Brother of Robert C. Jango of Dedham, Judith Jango-Cohen of Burlington, and Regina Jango Panetta of Vero Beach, FL. Also survived by 9 nieces and nephews.
Richard was a U.S. Air Force Veteran and member of the Boston Plasterers and Cement Masons Local 534. He was an award-winning Air Force cook; a mason who created unique fireplaces, walls, and mosaic designs; a great gardener, who shared his bounty of vegetables with neighbors and family; and an enthusiastic musician, who played guitar, harmonica, and spoons. He was full of fun.
His Uncle Tommy once said something to him that his friends and family will find so true, “You’re a good kid, Richie, but you’re mischievous.”
A Funeral Mass will be held in St. Mary’s Church, Dedham on Saturday, Aug. 10 at 10:00am. Relatives and friends kindly invited. Interment in Brookdale Cemetery, Dedham.
