Richard W. Cashman, age 95, of East Bridgewater, formerly of Sandwich and Norwell, affectionately known as Dick to his family and friends, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2026 at Accent Care Hospice Center, Milton.

Dick was born in Dorchester, to the late Joseph and Helen (Wallace) Cashman.

Raised in Wollaston, he was a graduate of Cranwell Preparatory School and Boston College. He was proud to have served his country by enlisting in the United States Army, stationed in Panama as a Military Police Officer. Following his honorable discharge, with his brilliant engineer mindset, he went to work for the family run business, Cashman Sprinkler. In April, 1960, he married his best friend and the love of his life, Lillian F. (Mansfield) Cashman. Dick and Lil met in 1944 when Dick's older sister married Lil's older brother. Their lifelong love story began from there. They grew up together, raised their family and spent all the days of their lives devoted to each other.

In addition to his beloved wife, Lillian, Dick is survived by his children, Michael Cashman and his wife Laura of East Bridgewater, Linda Malis of East Bridgewater, his granddaughter, Amanda Leonardo of Whitman, as well as many loving extended family. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Christine Cashman.

The family extends their deep gratitude and appreciation to the teams at the Brockton VNA and Old Colony Elder Services for their exceptional care and professional services bestowed to Dick during his time of need.
