He always blended a sense of humour into his storytelling that brought a smile to our faces. You both have experienced a full and fruitful life with the number of organizations that Richard, and I am sure you as well, have contributed to and led over the years. As you embark on the future, we know that the support of your family and friends will carry you forward.

Dear Anna and Family. I am sorry to hear of Richard's passing. It was about of a shock actually. My mother Vivian just lived two houses down on Duke Street West and she would babysit him. I first met Richard through Scouting and later when I joined the Shriners. I was fortunate to work and travel with him when he was Recorder for Luxor and I was Treasurer. He was a great mentor to me and supporter when I was Potentate. I always consider him to be a close friend. All his hard work will not be forgotten.
Respectfully,
Ill Sir Scott Magee and Family

Rest in Peace Richard.
