Richard was born September 23, 1965 in Arborg, Manitoba. Richard was very loving, giving and a caring person. He was very protective of family. He thought very highly of them. Richard was well liked and respected by everyone he met.

Richard worked in the oil fields, road construction hauling all over. He was a very hard worker and didn’t like to sit idol. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, cooking, baking and canning.

We will miss his phone calls, visits and jokes. We will especially miss his smile.
