JANUARY 30, 1940 ~ MARCH 20, 2019 (AGE 79)

Richard leaves behind his loving wife of 59 years, Heather von Brendel, and their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

A Longshoreman and an avid fisherman, Richard could build and fix anything.  He was a hard working man who was always there for his family and friends.

No service by request.  In lieu of flowers, if so desired, donations in Richards’s name may be made to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Fisherman’s Prayer

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day.

And when it comes to my last cast, I then most humbly pray;

When in the Lord’s safe landing net, I’m peacefully asleep,

That in his mercy I’ll be judged good enough to keep.

Farewell Barclay Sound  …..  The Seawolf
