From the very first time we met Richard we knew he was a good man and a fine husband for Elizabeth. Although he was quiet he had a quick wit and good sense of humor. He and Elizabeth enjoyed each other and have made a warm and loving home for their children. Richard was always friendly and supportive. He never had a harsh word for anyone. It is with sadness we heard of his passing yet we know because of his faith, he is resting peacefully and perfectly with His Heavenly Father. To Elizabeth, Sarah and David we send our love. May God continue to comfort and draw you near. Love always. - Posted by: Mary-Ann Roy (Sister-in-law) on: Jan 11, 2019
