Richard M. Huff

Richard Huff, 63, of Green passed away at home, in the early morning of January 1, 2017, after a year-long battle with cancer.  Richard was an intelligent and extremely hardworking man.  After years in the grocery business, from the age of 15, he became an independent owner/operator of the Canal Fulton Giant Eagle.   He enjoyed fishing, golfing and many sports.  But his greatest joy and love was being involved with his grandsons.
