My favourite memory of Grandfa is from the summer I was up north planting trees...we bonded over ABBA's greatest hits and afternoon 'discussions' about whatever was on Oprah that day. He will be missed.

I have such fond memories of Uncle John, telling stories, serving as the life of any party, introducing us to the wonders of farming, and teasing the daylights out of us at every opportunity. The Richardson clan will all miss him dearly, and my heart is with my cousins as you transition through this difficult time.

Uncle John was the BEST dancer in the family! At weddings and celebrations, everyone wanted to dance with him. I have many memories of wonderful family reunions, laughter and playing games when Uncle John was involved.
While reminiscing about Uncle John, I was reminded of the energy he brought into a space and the joy that others felt even long after he left. I am thankful for this gift.
Love,
Sandra
