Richard was a great brother, uncle and friend. He had a smile that could light up the sky. When he was young, he loved to dance. Richard loved to have a cup of tea and share the local “news”

Richard enjoyed showing off his Christmas ornaments and his chicken collection. His love of the church and his faith showed with all his crosses and church books, and he could tell you where and when he got each one.

He especially loved to go for a drive and shop at the dollar store maybe get a treat at Tim’s or KFC. Richard loved his family and friends he never forgot a birthday or anniversary and often made hand written cards. 

Richard’s family would like to offer their appreciation and gratitude to Robert and family the residents and staff of Brockbank for all love and care they gave Richard.
