Richard, Brian Francis
North Sydney
We, the family, regret to announce the sudden passing of Brian Francis Richard, 64, of North Sydney on Wednesday, August 4th, 2021, at the Northside General Hospital surrounded by his family.
Born in Sydney, he was the son of Yvonne (Langlois) and the late Francis (Frank) Richard. Brian is survived by his wife, Susan (Roach), daughter, Michelle and son, Michael. He is also survived by sisters, Nancy (Philip) MacLean, Beverly Mader, Susan (Taso)Sifnakis, Marion (John) Newcombe, Judy (Kevin) Williamson, Lori (Neil) Paterson and brother, Kevin, many nieces and nephews, and a special grand fur baby, Bailey.
Brian was employed by Modern City Dairy and Scotsburn Dairy for 42 years and was affectionately known as “The Milkman”.
Brian was an avid “Habs” fan and enjoyed cheering on the Canadiens throughout each season. He loved to golf regularly with his foursome, Robbie, Norman and Taso, at Seaview Golf. He had enjoyed playing baseball with Dave’s Yamaha and bowled in the Monday night men’s league and the mixed league in his younger years.
He was very kind and caring which made making friends easy. He was loved and will be missed by many.
Brian was so very proud of his children, Michael and Michelle, and all that they have accomplished so far in their lives.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Sydney Memorial Chapel. A private, by invitation, funeral service will take place on August 23, 2021, followed by a public “Celebration of Life” at the Dobson Yacht Club, Westmount from 3-7pm.
