RICHARD (DICK) BLANCHARD

It is with great sadness that the family announces Richard's passing on Saturday, September 14, 2019, at the age of 83 years, in Winnipeg, MB.
Richard was born on April 29, 1936 in Chaplin, Saskatchewan and grew up in the Coderre, SK area.
Richard is predeceased by his wife Mary Etta; and he is survived by sons, Rick (Susan), Darren (Kathy) and Trevor (Patricia); granddaughters, Noelle (Brett), Megan (Chris), Courtney, Charlie and Ashley; grandsons, Corbet, Mackenzie (Kristen), Michael (Tannis) and Chris (Sarah); and great-grandchildren, Brooks and Bayleigh.
Richard and Mary Etta were married in November 1961 and lived in Regina where they were business owners and very involved in the trucking industry most of his life. He was a mechanical McGyver that always had some sort of project on the go. If it needed fixing you could be sure he had the tools to get it done. There never seemed to be task that could not be solved with enough hard work and a never quit attitude.
A memorial service and Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date, and will be held in Regina, SK.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic, 4101 Dewdney Avenue, Regina, Saskatchewan S4T 7T1.
