​

Richard was raised in Dominion City and at the age of 24 started working as freshwater fisheries where he retired after 37 years.

​

He did not find retirement relaxing so he became a security guard at paladin and worked out of MPI offices until January 2020.

​

Richard loved all kinds of sports. He enjoyed relaxing in front of TV watching sports with my son Vincent or playing cards and arguing with hi daughter in law Kathy. He especially enjoyed attending his granddaughters dance recitals and hockey games. And if you knew Richard continually complaining about the referees.

​

A Celebration of Richard's Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, January 27, 2020 at the Grace Lutheran Church located at 211 Kimberly Avenue. Interment to follow.  In lieu of flowers, donations in his honour may be made to Cancer Care Manitoba.
