It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard (Dick) on August 7th. Predeceased by his parents Violet and Samuel Walters. Loving husband of Judy. Proud father of Elizabeth (Rick) Marinelli, David (Anne) and Richard (Amanda). He loved his 7 grandchildren, Sam, Richard, Mike, Abby, Tom, Jason and Spencer and always enjoyed hearing of their achievements and aspirations on their visits. Very recently he was so pleased to be able to greet his new great grand-daughter Charlotte. Will be kindly remembered by his sister-in-law Arlene Book and her family.
Dick’s career initiated at United Gas and culminated as President of Origin and Cause (Fire Investigating).
Travelling with friends and having great New Year’s Eve dinner parties were very fond memories for Dick. Over the years, he had numerous fishing trips with a number of fishing buddies.
