Obituary of RICHARD BRYAN TITTLEMIER

RICHARD TITTLEMIER

Richard was born in Winnipeg on July 3, 1949 and spent his first year living on the family farm in River Hills Manitoba. He was predeceased by his mother Olga (Abraham) Tittlemier and father Roy Tittlemier.

In 1950 after the passing of his father the family moved to Transcona where he lived his whole life. At four years old Richard contracted polio and had the loving support of his Mother and big sisters.

Anyone who knew Richard knows his passion for nice cars and trucks, attending car show and shines

and spending countless hours at Henry’s car wash. He loved to restore old vehicles, pull out engines and rebuild them.  Richard enjoyed trips to the drag races in Brainerd and Las Vegas with his good friend Garry and always looked forward to the “next one”.

Richard worked at Griffin Canada and retired as an inspector in 2014.  After retirement he spent time

at his cottage at Hillside Beach but his home was in Transcona. His retirement years also brought him his dogs, Chubbs, Jocko and Penny.

Richard enjoyed life.  He will be missed by all that knew him.

Richard is survived by his sisters Del (Ken) Jones, Wendy Newman, and Brenda (Dave) Ruff. His

nieces Lisa (Ken)Rempel, Corrine Walker, Leah Newman  Shaundra Ruff, also his Great nieces Sarah (Kevin)Lewis and Chelsea (Geoff, Rosalie and Forester) Kilfoyle.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nursing staff at Riverview Health Centre on Ward 3E for the compassionate care they gave to Richard. Also to WRHA Home Care who made it possible for Richard to be at home with his dog Penny for as long as possible.
