Richard James CROFT

If it wasn't for Richard, I may have never learnt how to cast a line or catch a fish. Sitting riverside with friends who are as much to me as family, he was quick to guide someone learning. A man whose spirit is stronger than his lumberjack grip will remain with us for a second lifetime. I know his advice will remain with me for the rest of mine, and I hope to share some of it with others when they seek it.

RIP dear cousin, you will be missed by many.

I think about how you used to call me at least once a week when you found out that you were going to be a grandpa again. I think about how having Ethan brought us closer. Ethan sure had you wrapped around his little finger. Ethan and I were so looking forward to coming up to Vernon this summer. Ethan and I are going to miss you so much.

My Big Brother, I still can't beleive that you have passed on. I will miss you calling me to bug me about the snow. I will miss you just calling me to see what's new.
