Condolence From: Carol Padfield
Condolence: I remember Richard always being so helpful when I had problems with my bike. Because I rode my bike to work (at Winston Park), he would frequently take time on his lunch hour to check out my brakes or gears if I was having problems.
May you rest in peace Richard.

Condolence From: Karen Canapini
Condolence: My sincerest condolences goes out to you. I knew Richard because he replaced my as my LTO when I was on my first Maternity leave at St. Andrew's P.S. He was the perfect fit. What a fantastic person and teacher! Later, he got another LTO at St.Andrews and I got to work with him as a colleague. Our families were of similar age so he often chatted with me about how important it was to make memories with his children and wife.. I always admired his positive attitude and determination, even when it was really tough. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Condolence: Dear Amy, Nicholas, Emily and family,
I was saddened to hear of Richard's passing. He was a hard working and respected teacher, who took the time to get to know and help his students. When he worked at Wellesley PS, he rode his bike faithfully to school every day, no matter the weather. Richard's dedication impressed us all. He also integrated easily into the staff at LBP; always a good listener and truly admired by both staff and students. He will surely be missed.
