Richard’s Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear father, Richard Joseph Philippe Alexandre on April 1st, 2022.
Richard, the eighth child in a family of twelve of Joseph Alexandre and Marie-Jeanne Belanger, was born on July 31st, 1938, on the family farm eleven miles southwest of Falher.
Richard was married twice, first marriage in 1958 to Marlene Lindstrom together they had four sons. In 1984 Richard married Betty Fraser and together had one daughter.
His family knew him only as a kind, caring, humerous, and patient father, a man who’s love of life was first and foremost his family, then came farming, hunting and the game of curling.
