I will always remember Rick for his warm heart, his unwavering love for his family, and the genuine kindness he shared so freely. He was a truly special person and a cherished family friend. His legendary Christmas Eve parties were filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories — a true reflection of the joy he brought to those around him. He will be deeply missed.

My favourite memories of Uncle Richard were made at “Grandma and Grandpa’s” house on Dittmer Cres., when the Warner family would gather at major occasions. We all sat at the long extended table for a beautiful meal, and Uncle Richard would enthusiastically wear the paper “cracker” hat, laughing and “giggling”. He had a way of making you feel seen and heard as a kid, he always went out of his way to ask me questions, and show interest, with a twinkle in his eye. Rest in peace Uncle Richard, you will be missed.

Jo Anne Johnston says
Sending my deepest condolences to you, Alison and family. I have so many fond memories of Richard. Our families spent many happy times together at cottages and camping.
We would run around throwing firecrackers at one another. It was great fun. Richard and I had a special bond and I really loved him.
Richard will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace.
Love your cousin Jo Anne
Richard Bell says
Richard was a loyal and wonderful brother in law, i often think of the many cottage vacations together with Richard and Clarence out fishing, he was always yankng my line when i wasn’t looking, making me think i had a huge bite. I will miss him dropping by our house to visit. Rest peacefully brother.
Peggy Bell says
Richard was a wonderful loving brother. We talked and laughed usually once a week. We always ended our conversation with “I love you”. I will miss those talks. He was very happy and looking forward to moving up north with Alison and doing some fishing. I hope there’s fish up there Richard. Catch me a big one!! My heart aches for all of you left behind. Just remember his life was his family and he loved every one of you very much.
