Condolences

Hi, Karen, This is from long-lost cousin Bonnie, writing from my home in Gagetown New Brunswick. I am so sorry to hear of Richard's passing. It doesn't seem possible that so much time has passed since we last saw you here in New Brunswick. All my memories of Richard are from the earliest years when he and Reggie, Buster and Ginny would come for Sunday afternoon tea. And we would go sliding on the Big Hill in Marysville near the old cotton mill. I always looked up to him as my "much older" cousin - there was a five-year age difference. He was such a good and kind cousin. It makes me happy to know that his life in Mount Forest was rich with friendships. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Dear Karen and Family, My deepest sympathies for you and your family. Richard was a super husband, father and grandfather, My children always remember him as that relative who was such a good golfer and a guy who made everyone laugh. He always had a twinkle in his eye, waiting for an opening for another joke . A good man. I regret that I will be away during the service, but I will be thinking of all of you as you honour Richard. Love, Pat Whyte and Family
