Dear Jo-Ann and family:

Please accept our heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Richard was such a special person-kind, warm, and always full of love.

There are no words that can truly ease the pain of losing someone so dear, but we hope you feel surrounded by love and comfort, and know that you're not alone.  Our thoughts are with you, and we're here for you in any way you need.

Diane, Barry, Ashley and Brandon Hum

Dear Jo-Ann, Catherine and Andrea,
I have worked for the Town of Hampstead for 17 years. 15 of those 17 years your father / husband was the Director General of the Town. He was a kind man who spoke often and proudly of his children and family. My deepest condolences as you grieve for his loss. May the Lord comfort you during this extremely difficult time. 
With love,
Laura Viviani (employee Town of Hampstead)

My condolences to Johanne, Catherine, and Andrea, who had to say goodbye to Richard too soon. I have beautiful memories of him and his family growing up, he was loving, supportive, and always smiling. My thoughts are with you all.

Toutes mes sympathies pour la famille.  Richard est un homme souriant, positif et agréable. Il nous manquera  beaucoup dans les cours aerobiques.

In the short time I’ve know Richard, he was always  upbeat, inclusive and friendly. At the gym, where he was ever present, everyone seemed to know him. 
I will miss our chats and his signature howls in Zumba class - “Awoooooo!”💔

I've known Richard since I was very young. He was always vibrant, fun, and incredibly generous. He and Joanne consistently welcomed me, making their home a true second home. Their immense generosity allowed me to experience things I might never have without them. It's truly heartbreaking to think of a world without Richard's infectious joy. Like so many others, I will grieve his absence deeply.

Richard was a good caring friend!
He was always happy when the gang got together for a nice meal.

My deepest sympathies to the family. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathies. You were always so kind to my daughter who looked up to you and admired your love for your family.   She was often invited to family dinners and still speaks to this day of those cherished memories.  The friendship that she has built with your daughter over the past 30 years remains and continues to grow.  I can see your radiant smile as you spread so much happiness in your circle of friendship
May you rest in eternal peach Mr. Sun 
Thank you for bringing so many wonderful memories to my daughter's life.

Dear Tim, thank you for your message, it is very much appreciated. You have always been a stalwart of the PS department and you know Hampstead very well. We have had tough times but PS has always came through and we will again this time. I missed the camaraderie and everyone in PS. 

This was the last communication I had with Mr . Sun last January. We had known each other back to his days with the city of CSL and I loved the opportunity to work under his leadership as Director General of the city of Hampstead during his 18 years at the helm.  He always took the time to make sure our department was his top priority and that we had all we needed to carry out our duties as Public Safety Constables.  
He will be truly missed and may he rest in peace !!
My sympathies to all his family 

Tim Kowal
