Dec 26, 1947 – Nov 17, 2019
Mr. Henry “Harry” Richards passed peacefully away at home on November 17, 2019 at the age of 71 after a battle with cancer, with family by his side. Predeceased by parents and siblings. Leaving to mourn his loving wife of 51 years, Geraldine Richards, his daughters Dolores Mainville (Jerome), Sherry Lynn Lang (Bill), Colleen Gosse (Tom) & Amie Richards (Clarence). His grandchildren: Steven Mainville, John Lang (Samantha), Christopher Lang (Marie-Ann), Samantha Gosse, Cassandra Mainville, Paige Tuttle, Yvette Tuttle, Marley Tuttle and his Special Granddaughter: Minxie Tuttle; Great Grandchildren: Aiden Mainville, Rebecca Lang, Lindsay Lang, Nevaeh Lang, Juliette Lang, Sarah Lang & Owen Lang
And a large circle of family & friends. Although Harry was a devoted husband, a hard worker, loving friend, an excellent dart player and a community volunteer in various organizations – none of these accolade adequately describe him. Harry’s heart beat for his children and wife. He raised his children on a base of unconditional love, quiet patience and protection. Everything he did, he did for his children. Anything his children needed, he provided. Weather it was emotional support, financial aide, driving lessons, a babysitter, a cook, a repairman, a driver, an advisor or any other role he was happy to do it. He leaves behind a legacy of forgiveness, love, patience and understanding as a foundation to build upon.
