Obituary of RICHARD JOHN BOYD

RICHARD JOHN BOYD (Dick) June 26, 1940 – November 10, 2020 In the comfort and loving arms of his family and dog Abby, Dad passed peacefully on November 10, 2020 at home. Dad lost a brief battle with cancer his way; courageously and in a no-nonsense fashion. Dad remained true to himself despite these difficult times; warm, loving and always welcoming. He kept his family on their toes with sarcastic comments and humorous shots. With a click of his jaw, he knew he was right on a hockey or football play. His passion for sports impacted many people as a coach, role model and mentor. With his passing, our hearts remain full of love and respect. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. His memory will always be cherished. Dad’s ashes will be scattered in the Gardens of Remembrance at the St. Vital Cemetery on a beautiful day next year. Thanks kindly to all those who cared for our father. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a wildlife or animal charity, or one of your choosing. Dad, your laughter will always fill our hearts. Life is good. Until we meet again.
