After a hard fought struggle we are heartbroken to announce that Dick has finally relaxed into a peaceful, eternal sleep. Dick passed on February 4th at Hamilton General Hospital in his 79th year.
Left behind to celebrate his life are his loving wife Tena VanderKooy Schuyler, his son Greg (Renee) Schuyler, daughter Candee (Jeff) Schuyler, Step daughter Michele Postma Perry (Todd), Step son Tony Postma and grandchildren Skylee, Starlee, Sonny & Shaylee O’Brien, Cole & Eric Perry and Wesley, Owen & Madelyn Postma. Papa adored his grandchildren who were the bright lights in his life. And lets not forget his best four-legged friends Casper, and Harry, his big lap dog.
Dick was a Captain of the Maid of the Mist for 33 years. He loved the Leafs and Blue Jays.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
