RICHARD KEITH BROADFOOT On Friday, August 26, 2005 Rick left this life after a brief battle with cancer. Rick is survived by his wife of 36 years, Helen (nee Murphy), daughter Kelly (Shawn) Gordon, son Ron, and granddaughter Alanna. He is also survived by his sister Lynne (John) McLure and their children, Michael (Kelly) and Kristen (Terry), all of Winnipeg. Rick will be greatly missed by his assistant and team member of 32 years, Shiran Noseworthy, and by Helen's sisters, brother and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Ronnie and his parents, Ron and Nettie. Rick was to celebrate his 60th birthday on August 28th. He was raised in Gladstone, MB, a community founded by his pioneer forefathers in 1871. He obtained a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Manitoba in 1966 and an LL.B. from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1969. After articling and being called to the Bar, he began his career with Inch, Easterbrook and Shaker (now Inch Hammond) in 1971 and continued to provide trusted, confidential advice to his many clients until his illness would no longer allow him to continue. Golf and curling were Rick's avocations, having taken them both up at the age of 10. Although an enthusiastic 11-handicapper, Rick was probably a better curler than a golfer, having won club championships at Dundas Valley Golf Curling Club and Glendale Golf and Country Club. Rick skipped his team to the 2005 Senior Championship at the Hamilton and District Bonspiel and was looking forward to defending it. He was an active member of The Rotary Club of Hamilton and slated to be the President in 2007. Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be at DODSWORTH BROWN Funeral Home, ANCASTER CHAPEL, 378 Wilson St. E., Ancaster from 2:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 29. A Funeral Mass will be offered at St. Ann's Church (Fiddler's Green Road and Wilson Street) in Ancaster on Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. Private interment at Resurrection Cemetery in Ancaster. In lieu of flowers, Rick asked that donations be made to: The Rotary Club of Hamilton, Sunshine Fund Appeal, 123 King St. W., Hamilton, ON L8P 4S8 for its work with children locally and in the international community.

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • I believe Rick would have remembered me as an old friend and T.K.E. (Tau Kappa Epsilon) fraternity brother from the mid-1960's at the University of Manitoba. We were in the same pledge class and initiated at the same time,as I recall. I believe we were also on the executive together. My memories of Rick include his enthusiasm, hard work,dependability, and sense of responsibility, features that earned him the respect of his many friends from that era. I am greatly saddened by the news of Rick's passing and extend my sympathy to his family. - Posted by: Jim Eldridge (Friend) on: Aug 30, 2005
