Richard immigrated to Canada from Germany at age 12 with his parents Annemarie and Herbert Propper, sister Barbara (Peter), and twin brother Henry (Christiane).
A loving father to Michelle (Lorne), David, Alex, and Andrew (Kate), Richard was actively involved in his children's lives. He proudly took on the roles of Cub and Scout leader, soccer coach, baseball coach and many more.
He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren Madeline, Jasmine, and Hudson who loved his playful energy.
As a civilian employee of the Department of National Defence, he spent the majority of his career as a computer systems engineer. He happily spent his retired winters in Arizona.
An avid golfer and longtime member of the Hylands Golf Club, he was a friend to many. He was a lover of the outdoors. Some of his fondest memories were camping at Sandbanks with his family, taking canoe trips to Algonquin Park with friends, and spending winter weekends skiing.
Richard will be remembered for his warm smile, jolly laugh and great sense of humour.
A celebration of life will be held for Richard on Sunday, September 24, 2023 at the Hylands Golf Club (2101 Alert Road, Ottawa, ON, K1V 1J9) from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family would welcome donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
