A brother-in-law, Robert Crist, of Dauphin, and father-in-law, Edward Hill, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and other family members.
Richard will continue to give of himself to and for others, as he donated his body to medical research.
A celebration of Rick's life will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family who has asked that in
