Passed away on March 6, 2026, at Kelowna General Hospital.

Born in 1942 in Calgary, AB, Dick was a long-time Kelowna resident with a deep love for family and friends. He was an accomplished salesman throughout his career, whether selling farm machinery or working in school photography.

Dick enjoyed dogs, photography, making wine, and especially cherished time spent with his wife Cheri and loved ones in the beautiful Okanagan Valley.

He is survived by his loving wife Cheri; sisters Donna and Wendy; sons Richard and Gregg; daughters-in-law Dawn and Katherine; grandchildren Tony, James, Xander, and Kasey and great-grandchildren Rex and Mycroft.

Dick will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.

A Celebration of life will be held this summer. Details will be shared at a later date.
