Dear Mrs. Fix (Pauline), Janet, Randal & family

We just heard the sad news about Richard, and we want to tell you how sorry we are to hear of his passing. Please know we have many fond memories of our time when we all lived on Linton Rd. Mrs. Fix you and Mr. Fix were such good friends to Mom and Dad (Vivian and Frank Allaire).

I was so sad to hear of this tremendous loss, and my deepest sympathies go out to all his family. I worked with Richard when he was in Communications in Ottawa, and we were also good friends back then. I will always remember his smile, his love of music, and his engagement with the world. But he will always live on in our thoughts, and fondest memories.

Dear Kathryn:
You have my deepest sympathy. Losing someone near and dear to you and your children is hard. It demands tremendous strength as well as softness.
Richard was a colleague and good friend to my husband, Laszlo (Les) Detre, and to me when we worked together in Ottawa at Employment and Immigration. I will never forget Richard's unfailing support and kindness, his willingness to listen and help, his compassion, his wit, the sparkle in his eyes and his wonderful sense of humor....

Dearest Richard,
I am deeply saddened to hear that you have passed away. You were the most kind and supportive boss during my formative years at the world bank. You always cared and helped me grow in the most positive ways and helped me achieve my dreams. I enjoyed working for you and loved your humor, your love for music, your family, hockey and canada were so pure. Even after my world bank days you helped me with my MBA applications and always checked in to see if you could be of...

Dear Kathryn and all the Fix family, My deepest sympathy to you as you struggle with this devastating loss. I was lucky enough to work with Richard for several years at the Bank, when he led communications for the data group. He was such a pro in every sense. A man of authenticity, whose life was obviously focused on you, his family. He spoke so proudly of you, along with his riffs on music and poetry, and Canadian politics. There was always laughter in his comments and an irresistibly...

My deepest condolences to Richard's family. I was lucky enough to get to know Richard and Thomas through hockey and coached with him a few seasons back. He was a wonderful man and great coach. Always the gentleman and a class act.

Randy and family - my condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.

Richard always brought levity to the room, even conducting routine World Bank business. Yet, he could be counted upon always to handle emergency communications. He is missed by his colleagues at the Bank. Rest in Peace, Richard.
