Richard’s Obituary
Richard Pitura at 77 years of age died with dignity on October 19, 2023. The man had a courageous, hard fought battle with cancer.
A husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, coach, and hard rock miner. Richard valued hard work, hustle, and determination. Simply put the words “I quit” did not exist in his vocabulary. He loved his family, loved sports, hunting moose, his cabin at Coli Lake especially his saw mill. Oh he loved that saw mill!!!!!
Richard loved being a miner, the friendships, stories in the tunnel. I swear he could recount every partner, shift boss, cage tender he ever had. Rich loved drilling and blasting, he took enormous pride in snapping out rounds.
Rich loved his wife Vivian and children Patty-Lynn (deceased), Holly (deceased), Teri and Rooke. Grandchildren Zac (Holly), Matthew, Jillian, and Sam (Teri & Nelson) and Jessica, Heidi, and Reid (Rooke & Candice.) Richard loved his son in law Nelson and daughter in law Candice like they were his own.
We will be celebrating his life November 14, 2023 at 1 pm in the Red Lake Legion. Come prepared to hear, share stories, shed a few tears as we honour the great man Richard Pitura.
In lieu of flowers, feel free to make a donation to the Harmony Centre or Red Lake District Hospital Auxiliary or Lake of the Woods District Hospital Chemo Department.
