Dr. Wait was one of my all-time favourite doctors when I worked on 3C East then 7A. He was thoughtful and comapssionate. Blessings to Sally and his near and dear ones. ~ Sandy McPherson (Kerr)

Dick was the kind of person you felt you had known for a long time; even though you had just met him. He was a straight shooting, thoughtful, capable, honest, and humble person. It was an honor to have known and worked with him.

Dear Sally;
Dick and I were so sorry to read of your Dick's death. We know he hasn't been well in the recent years but we so enjoyed your visit to our home on your last prairie trip. He had a wonderful sense of humour, a typical man from Saskatoon ! Susan joins us in sending you our love and sympathies to you and your family

My love and thoughts are with you Sally. Dr Waite was such a fine man and very competent physician....it was always a joy to work with him.

Dear Sally and family,
It was a great honour to know Richard and consider him a true friend. My contact was outside the medical arena, and I enjoyed our conversations right to the end. Love to you all, Jack Waters.

A gentle, caring, thoughtful man.
I was priveleged to work with at SPH.

My condolences to Sally and family. I enjoyed visiting their property. It was a sanctuary of peacefulness, ocean breezes and flowering gardens. Both Sally and Richard were kind and thoughtful with many interesting conversations and stories.
It was a pleasure being treated as a friend while being their milkman. The driveway was the only challenge in winter.
Sincerely, Art Bickerton
