My sincere condolences to the Vaillancourt family and to Rob. I had the honor of working with Richard for two years while working with atFocus, and enjoyed our time together, especially at the local gym while in Vancouver. We had many lengthy and involved conversations, and we always had lots to talk about. Our loss is definitely God's gain!
Take care,
Noreen

C'est avec une profonde tristesse que j'ai appris le décès de mon vieil ami Richard. Même si nous nous étions perdus de vue ces dernières années, il n'en reste pas moins que je garderai toujours d'heureux souvenirs de Richard lorsque nous travaillions ensemble. Richard avait de multiples talents. En plus d'être un hôte sans pareil, un cuisinier très habile, un sommelier extraordinaire - il savait même tricoter. Il m'a offert pour la naissance de ma fille un ensemble de bébé - bonnet, chandail - qu'il avait tricoté de ses mains propres. Cet ensemble aurait pu faire l'envie de 'tricoteuses' chevronnées. Son rire éclatant restera à jamais gravé dans ma mémoire.
My deepest sympathy to Rob. Mes sincères condoléances à sa famille.

Richard et moi avons débuté notre carrière ensemble à ce qui était alors Santé et Bien-être Social Canada. J'en garde le souvenir d'un gars qui se donnait à fond dans ses dossiers; je me rappelle encore de nos discussions musclées au sujet du dossier des prestations de survivants du Régime de pensions du Canada. Je me rappelle aussi d'un Richard plein de vie qui adorait faire du vélo et qui avait tout le "kit" à la fine pointe de la mode et de la technologie. Richard était aussi une personne à l'écoute des autres et très généreuse. Nous avons passé de bons moments ensemble lors de soupers avec des amis communs. Richard connaissait la bonne bouffe et le bon vin. Je me rappelle encore de son roulé au proscutto,jambon et asperges cuit dans une sauce à la crème. Une recette qui continue de faire ses preuves de succès 25 ans après. Et bien sûr, il y a ce voyage mémorable avec Richard et Catherine Goodman--si bien raconté par Catherine dans son message. Richard: où que tu sois, envoies-nous tes ondes positives.
Mes sincères condoléances à la famille de Richard et aux personnes qui lui sont chères.

My fondest memory of Richard was a business trip (Health and Welfare Canada)to Edmonton in the mid 1980s. At the end of our meetings, Richard, Carole Vallerand and I rented a car for the weekend and drove down the Icefields Parkway through the Rockies to Calgary and back to Edmonton before returning to Ottawa. We, of course, put Richard in charge of organizing the picnic lunches and they were memorable - the finest of patés and cheeses and fruit and salads and always a bottle of beautiful wine all consumed amidst the most breathtaking of scenery.
My deepest condolences to Richard's family and loved ones.

Goodbye Richard you taught me so much and brought me so much happiness to my life. Who nurtured and help me grow out of my anxieties. You will be missed but never forgotten. Life without will never be the same.

We will miss Richard's humour and his flamboyant hats! He was always a lot of fun at Moosha & Russ' parties.
Have a great time in Paradise Richard!
Love,

Good my my love, you were the best friend I had. Our moments together will be cherished forever. The gym will not be the same without. You always made me feel good about myself when you smiled and laugh. You taught me so much, made me a better person.

Richard you were always the consumate professional in everything you did. Your innovation, flare and your sense of humour will be missed by our family at AtFocus. I will especially miss your friendship, wit and time spent together. Thank you for sharing yourself!
Deepest sympathies to Rob and the Vaillancourt family

Richard has always held a special place in my heart. Never judgemental and always a true friend. I will never forget our trip to Australia together, a chance I would never have gotten without him. Rob, you may not know me but he has always spoken so well of you. To his mom and siblings, my deepest of sympathy. Take care of each other.
