Book of Condolences
Brian A. McKayDear Linda, Lesley and Tanya;
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I remember well our time together at St. Tims
In His Love, Brian
Mary and Al McintyreWe first met Diak approximately 17 years ago when our son Jeremy and Tanya became serious about their relationship.
Dick was a gentle pleasant man. He didn’t say much but when he did speak, his words were thoughtful. He enjoyed life and when I saw him, he never failed to ask me the current colour of my middle son’s hair.
I know he will be missed by all of you especially you Linda. Finally Dick, you can rest in peace. Finally you can go gently into that good night.
Add Your Condolences
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Crackel Carl Richard ‘Dick’ July 7th 2020..
