Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

Heartfelt condolences Lorraine and all family members. I have so many fond memories of Richard in our formative years and beyond. I think of the time he and I had a water drinking contest at my grandma's house. I won. ;-), The time (or two) when I helped out with the building of the rental house he was working on with brother-in-law Richard, the time I went with him to visit his farming aunt and uncle, not knowing we would be picking stones (!), picking blueberries, "day-camping" in a nearby bush when I unwisely thought it would be a good idea to preheat a can of noodle soup without opening it first (noodles everywhere), target practice shooting bottles, spooking Lorraine when I helped myself to an overnight bed in the back seat of his car, and so many more. He was a great friend. I'll miss him as will so many others. - Posted by: Lorenzo Heinrichs (friend) on: May 25, 2026
