It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dad, Richard Kenneth Truman in his home, on Monday, July 29, 2024, at the age of 69.
Richard was a loving, kind and devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He loved to spend time with his family camping, golfing, fishing and gathering together for dinners. He was always there to help take care of and spend time with his Grandchildren and enjoyed watching his Grandsons play hockey and baseball.
Richard was a welder by trade and studied at the Hobart Institute of welding during his early 20s. He worked the majority of his career at the Forge and Fab department of Algoma Steel until his recent retirement.
Richard was the loving husband and best friend of the late Paula Truman. Beloved father of Trisha (Larry), and Kenneth (Emilie). Cherished grandfather of Noah, Charlie, Nick, Hannah and Evan.
