I’m so sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. I worked with Richard at Royal LePage in London, Ontario. We remember him fondly. He was such a nice man and so devoted to his family. We lost touch years ago. I’m glad to hear that he had been so blessed with many grandchildren and good friends. My condolences to you all.
We just found out here that Richard passed away. I’m not sure if you will remember us but both John and I worked with Richard for years at Royal LePage.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Thankyou Richard for being an angel on earth, never making a single enemy. A presence in a room that everyone enjoyed..
We will treasure our memories of you, all the fun, joy and lively conversations, your piano, your sailing, your love of Guernsey and Canada and your family, a beer with you at the Guernsey Boat Club,
looking out over the sea on a beautiful evening, or sheltering inside from a blustering gale! No raised topic of conversation was ever dismissed by you, just a warm strength to everyone you met.
My own love of Canada shared with you many and many a time.
Goodby Richard, we will always cherish your loving spirit.
