I was so shocked and saddened by Richard's sudden passing. He was an incredible animal lover and gentle soul. When I would see Richard, he always gave a bear hug and we would discuss our dogs. My heartfelt condolences to the St. Lawrence family.

I was devistated to hear of Richards sudden passing. He was the kindest and most thoughtful, caring person and his love for Snow was so endearing. A good friend of mine for many years, I will miss him terribly. Rest in peace my friend, so glad you, me, Ron and Farley met up at Little Sito's a while back. We will always cherish those good times when we all worked together. Luv ya buddy.

Sending love, healing and prayers to the St. Lawrence family. We were neighbours throughout my childhood until we we moved grandma into care after Papa passed in 2008. I pray God offers your family healing and peace knowing love has no boundaries. Our most sincere condolences Irene and Janelle Maplesden

My heart is heavy right now. I'm going to miss those late evening calls that were supposed be about our work but turned into innocent laughter as you simplified solutions. Then we moved on to better things - analyzing life experiences. Who's going to convince me that I don't have enough money invested in the Super Bowl pots? I'm gonna miss you brother.
