Richard was a very dear friend of mine in High School. He was so amazingly intelligent and I always admired that about him. We had many great debates about a lot of things. I still have a book of poetry he gave me, and I treasure it.
Richard and I were in the same class from Grades 1 through 10 and then my family moved to Windsor. Richard, Joyce Cunningham and I were all working on our Gr 8 paino and Gr 11 Theory and our teacher was Miss Bailey who lived at Burgessville. I bet a lot of you of remember her? We all passed and it was it ever a lot of work. Richard was smart about so many things. His mind loved to explore so many areas. Ricahrds life was hard and I remember the time in Gr 1 when his Mother passed away when we were in Gr 1 and how sad I was for him that he didn't have a Mother anymore. Our teacher, Miss Clement gave him a lot of special care. You will always be remembered God Bless. Heather Pettigrew Chernecki
OH my Richard, i find you only to lose you. i only just saw this. in my storage back home i still have a little ring you gave me in memory of the play we did together at NDHS, Miss Twiddle and the Devil. You were a lovely young man and i was glad to know you. i have lost contact with you these many years. thank you christine and heather for your posts. i remember that piano study with miss bailey so long ago. i now can:t play the piano anymore and honestly only needed it to circumvent the maths requirement at university in those days... but it is a good memory of the 3 of us. i didn:t know you lost your mother in grade one. i wish i could have given you even more attention had i known. must have been so hard. Love to you Richard from me and all of us.
