RICHARD KLYM 1941 - 2013 On Friday, June 14, 2013, Richard Klym of Winnipeg, Manitoba passed away at Riverview Health Centre with his family at his side. Richard took great effort and pride in everything he did and this was most evident in his work at Winnipeg Technical College where he taught his students the mastery of autobody repair. He spoke often about this time in his life and the joy it brought him. In spite of Richard's often-daily participation in local coffee get-togethers; he took equal pleasure in the calm and comfort of nature and his yard. Even in the final stages of his illness, he found peace on the beautiful grounds of Riverview and in the knowledge he would soon reunite with his loving wife, Kirsten, who passed before her time in 1996. He'll be greatly missed by his children, Teresa, Daphne, and David, and their families. Respecting his wishes, a funeral will not be held, only a private interment for immediate family. In lieu of flowers, you are invited to make a donation, in memory of Richard, to Riverview Health Centre Foundation, One Morley Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3L 2P4, (204) 478-6271. Thank you to the staff at Riverview on Unit 3 East.

Although it has been many years since I have seen my uncle and cousins, I am thinking of my family. When I was a kid I have good memories of my uncle when we would have our family get together. He was fun and I remember lots of laughter,with my uncle. I am grateful he is no longer suffering and he is with my aunt now!! - Posted by: Marcia Frederiksen (he was my uncle) on: Jun 29, 2013

Teresa, Daphne and David. Our thoughts are with you all. Your Mom and Dad were our neighbours for many years. We were so sad when your Mom died and we know your Dad missed her every day. They are now together and at peace. Jan Jones, Glyn, Cathie & Dave - Posted by: Janice Jones (One-time Neighbour) on: Jun 22, 2013
