Richard (Dick) Didas, 89, of New Smyrna Beach, passed away September 25, 2019, just weeks shy of his 90^th birthday.  He was born to the late Harrison and Irene Didas in Cohocton, New York. 

Dick met his late wife, Betsy, in Rochester, New York and they married in August of 1956.  They had two boys, David and Jim, and moved from New York, to Oklahoma and finally, to Florida while Dick pursued a challenging and successful career with Stromberg Carlson. Dick and Betsy celebrated 56 wonderful years of marriage before she passed away in May of 2012.

The family takes comfort that he is once again with his treasured wife whom he missed tremendously.
