We wish that we could turn back the clock for a brief time.  Oh, the memories.  Your darling Mom, Liz; taken far too young and the pilot, golfer, curler, hunting buddy that was your dad.  He was such a nice person and not an enemy in this world.

Fondly, Lorene and Jack Chambers (Winnipeg)

My message is intended both as a tribute to a man and a note to long ago family friends. I was born in Portage la Prairie, the son of Margaret and William O (Bill) Tate. My parents were long-time friends of Alex and Peggy Munro. My twin sister, Wendy, and I are close in age to Richard and Patti, and as small children, we would play back and forth at our family homes. My Mother and Dad knew Ron, and although I don't recall ever meeting him, I feel I “know” him very well. After WWII, because of Mr. Richardson's involvement in the RCAF during the War years, he consented to participate in a long-term health study. Since 1948, as one of 3,983 young veterans, he has submitted medical information on a routine basis to the Study offices. I “know” Mr. Richardson, because, today, I am the Director of this Study. Mr. Ron Richardson and the men of the Manitoba Follow-up Study (www.mfus.ca) merit a great thank you from all Canadians for dedication to our country and lifelong contributions to medical research. With a salute to Mr. Richardson, my sincere condolence to all family members, and warm memories of times past to Peggy, Richard and Patti.

We wish to express our sympathy over the loss of Ron Richardson; one of the most honest and chaitable Gentleman we have had the; honour to know. 

Lorraine and Dave Hennigar

Very sorry to hear of uncle Ron's passing. My condolences to both of you.
Love Richard & Paulette

Jamie and Joanie - I regret being unable to attend the Celebration for 'Uncle Ron' as I was in court at that exact time helping someone out. I only have great memories of your Dad and Mom and they can never be taken from me. Only time will help with your healing from your loss and your memories will be enhanced from the loss you are experiencing now. Remember his laughter, his kindness and his good humour, those are the things I remember most. My thoughts are with you both.

Dear Joanie and Jamie;

I will be there tomorrow - have fond memories of your Dad - like him checking out the pilot on my first "small plane" flight from Sechelt when I was terrified to fly across water! Plus others, Joan, I won't mention
Love Deb

Dear Jamie and Joanie....we are all thinking of you and sending our love.  Mom and I are coming for the service tomorrow. 
I will always remember Uncle Ron as such a kind and gentle soul.  When I was saying goodbye to all my friends at the Victoria airport in 1971 en route to Calgary for grade 12...I was all on my own and was so very sad to leave. Then the stewardess came up and said your uncle would like you to come and join him in the cockpit.  So up I went and we talked about life and moving and change and by the time we got to Calgary he had helped me to see the new adventures that lay ahead. Plus I had the most amazing view of the mountains and had a chance to see what it takes to be the great pilot that he was.  
With much fondness and love,  Ginny and David

Joan and Jamie - Rae and I are unfortunately unable to attend your Dad's service on Tuesday, March 12th.  We will remember the many happy occasions we spent with your parents, in Winnipeg and in Vancouver.  Your Dad and I shared lots of Air Canada memories!
Our deepest sympathies.........Lawrie and Rae Paxton

Joan, You are in our thoughts and it was a privilege to have known Ron, We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. He was a kind and compassionate man and a great neighbour. He will be missed. Our condolences Albert & Doris Selina

Sorry to hear about your dad. He will be missed.

Ron was my first supervisor when I transferred to YVR, on the DC-8.  I was so fortunate. We all were. He was a one of a kind individual.  Very gentle and nurturing yet demanding.  A rare blend.
I'm sure you cherish the memories of your father.  I'm retired now, but your Ron was an influence in my career, and I am grateful.
So sorry he's gone.

Blessings to you Joan, I did not know your dad well, but I remember him when we used to have the Craig lectures at your house, he was a sweetie.  The angels are singing as one of their own has returned to heaven, they celebrate!!  Wishing you and your family all the very best in life, namaste.Ann Turner and Audrey Maxwell

Hey Joan and Jamie, 
Ah... so sad to hear of your Dad's passing. He sure showered down a velvety smooth voice and  warm sense of humour when ever I saw him!
Kathleen Baleja (Winnipeg ) Thunder Bay

We were recently laughing about times spent at Stead Camp, Jones, ON. One in particular involving Ron and the boats steering being repaired incorrectly making it steer opposite of what it was meant to do. I had never seen Ron laugh so hard. He was a good guy, and I enjoyed many conversations with him over the years. He will be missed!

Sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Thinking of you.

I remember your dad as a 'good guy and a good dad' even though I was a kid and that was a long time ago. He and your mother raised two intelligent, kind and considerate human beings, which pretty much says it all.

So sorry for your loss,

Lisa LaBella

Joan and Jamie,  I am so sorry to hear about your  Dad.  He was a wonderful man, always welcoming and interested in what you were doing.  I know that you will miss him dearly.  My heart is with you during this time.  With love, Pam Spencer

I'm so sorry to hear of your dad's passing, Joan and Jamie. I remember when both of our fathers traveled down to get their hearing tested by us when we were training at WWU. May you keep many fond memories of him in your hearts. Thinking of you and your extended family.

Jamie and Joan. Sad to hear the news of your Dad's passing. You are both in my thoughts.  Barb Edmison

Our deepest sympathies to you both. So greatfull for the times we shared. He will be missed.  Love, Patti & Anne Lunan

So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad.  Our deepest condolences to you.  We are thinking of you.  Luv Pat & Robert
