Richard was such a bright light. His passion for trains and music were very apparent. His laughter and smile always lit up the room. He was really a person who was there for you as a coworker and friend. He will surely be missed. Lisa, you are in my thoughts and prayers as is Richard's family.

Richard was always a fun time when we met up at Boatnertd gatherings in Thorold on the Welland Canal and in later years at the Amherst Model Train Show at Springfield at our table to talk about trains, ships and anything steam! I will miss him, no one quite like him.

This book of memories is to serve as a record of the services you entrusted to us. We hope it will help to preserve treasured memories and that we, in some small measure, have helped to ease your burden and bring you comfort.
