Born July 5, 1934 in Calgary; Richard passed away peacefully on November 13, 2017 at the Red Deer Hospice. For the past 11/2 years, he struggles with ALS (Lou Gehrig ’s disease) but bravely accepted its debilitating progression. Beloved husband of Linda, father of Ross (Vamini) and Heather (Dean) and proud grandfather of Eason and Evan. He also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

He was a long-time active member of St. Leonard’s-on-the-Hill Anglican Church and his strong faith was evident in his willingness to help and serve others.

His family would like to thank Dr. Anthony Williams, the ALS Society, the Red Deer Hospice as well as the excellent support from nurses and therapists through Alberta Health Services.
