Richard was a very humble down to earth person. Loved Nature and liked being outside. Work hard to get all that he had. Bought up with wonderful Parents. I was very proud of him.

I have known Richard since 1980 when my family moved across Hwy 601 from his parents. Richard, and my son Tim grew up together. I was glad when he bought the house beside me, and became my next door neighbor. Richard, like his dad, was always a good neighbor who you could depend on for help anytime you needed him. Richard was a skilled mechanic, and has helped keep my lawnmowers running for years. We didn’t always agree on everything, but he was a wonderful neighbor, and I will miss him very much.

I always enjoyed talking to Richard when I would come down the road and he would be mowing the lots at his dads shop. He was laid back and we always shared a laugh or two. My condolences to his wife and family .He was a great person.
