It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Arthur Sockett, who left us peacefully on Sunday, February 2nd. Richard was born to the late Doris and Lewis Sockett in the United Kingdom. He is survived by his beloved wife, Celia, and his children, Richard, Julie (Anthea), and Sheridan (Bill). Richard was the cherished grandfather of Richard, Katrina, Isabella, Michelena, Colleen (Mark), Rylan, Heidi (Connor), and Nikki, and proud great-grandfather of Rory. Richard is predeceased by his siblings, Llewellyn, Doris, Mary, John, Jean, David, Gordon, Colin, and Marion.
Richard was a proud member of the 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment of the UK Airborne (3 PARA). He was also an active member of the Canadian Legion Branch 642. Richard found joy in driving, golf, poker, and travelling, and he held deep appreciation for those who made a difference in his life.
Special thanks go out to Jen, Nicole, Deb, Matt, Michelle, Rick, Sam, and the team at Bayshore, as well as the team at New Beginnings, for their kindness and care.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Richard’s memory may be made to Doctors Without Borders or New Beginnings.
