Not sure what to say?

Richard will always be treasured in my memory. We shared a lot.

To the Hogarth Family,

My parents were so proud and blessed to have your dad as a life-long friend. Your dad enriched their lives and it’s obvious he passed those qualities and values along to his kids and grandchildren. I got to know Richard and the Hogarth family more at Monday’s service and I felt enriched too. My condolences to Martha and the Hogarth family.

My sincere condolences to Martha, John, Donald, Jane and all the family.
Dick was a man with so many qualities: kind; intelligent; thoughtful; strong; funny; self deprecating; supremely capable; and family loving. As John said, he was of a generation that had grit - among them his “family” friends from McGill including Miles Outerbridge, John Evans, John Brinckman, Ian Mackintosh and our father John Oliphant.

There are some people you wish could live forever, not merely rely on your memory of them or their legacies. Richard Hogarth was such a man.

My condolences, to Martha and the family.
Richard thank you for battles on the tennis court, your cottage chats, hot plates, insights and wisdom,

Thank you.

This is sad news and very disappointing. As I regularly walk past Brae Heid, I look forward to summer and finding Richard on one of his walks, meeting his broad welcoming smile and twinkling eyes. I know he had many more stories to share with me and now I will miss out. My sincere condolences to all who knew him.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Dick has been one of the finest gentlemen that I have had the pleasure of knowing. My thoughts are with Martha, John, Don, Jane and their families as we experience the deep sadness of our loss. I will miss him, but at the same time, never forget the amazing times we spent together around the lake, on the tennis court, skiing in Beaver Creek, or just enjoying the endless stories that Dick relate. His intellect, wit and true friendship will live on in my heart.
