Richard passed quietly and peacefully at Royal Jubilee hospital with his family and closest friend at his side.
Richard will be lovingly remembered by his best friend Greg Shechosky, his parents Barry and Fran Thornton, his sister Catherine Perry, her husband Roger, nephews Jack and Ian, brother Barry and niece Linda Thornton, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Richard grew up in Comox, BC. As a young man he travelled extensively and had many colourful and engaging stories of his adventures in India, Southeast Asia, and Mexico. He settled in Victoria and enjoyed the simple pursuits of cycling, tennis, cooking and reading.
Charming and dynamic, he had the heart of lion. Richard was a man of principles who valued honesty and integrity. He had a generous heart and a sharp and playful sense of humour. He will be forever missed and carried in our hearts.
Many thanks to the doctors and nurses who cared for Richard in the Royal Jubilee ICU.
A celebration of life will be held at a date to be announced.
