Passed away peacefully at his home in Richards Landing on Friday, December 10, 2021 at the age of 78 years. Beloved husband of 55 years to Aleen Kent (nee Johnstone). Loving father of Rick and Colleen (Mark). Proud grandfather of Chelsey (Jordan), Brandon, Sarah (Jarrett); great-grandfather of Isaac, Nathalie, William, Evelyn and Valarey.
Dear brother Joan (Bert), late Bill (Diana), late Sally (late Bill), Rob (Brenda), Graham (Sherrie), Jayne (John) and John (Barb); brother-in-law of Ed Johnstone (Kathy) and George Johnstone (Louise). Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews.
As an avid fisherman and hunter, Dick received great enjoyment from teaching his children and grandchildren how to fish at Sheldon Lake. Or he could be found at "Good enough" his home away from home. He took pride in his work as a Class A Auto Mechanic.
