RICHARD, Leonard "Len" AnthonyDecember 13, 1926 - June 28, 2016It is with profound sadness that we announce Len''s passing, with his family by his side, at the age of 89 years. Beloved husband and best friend of Opal (nee Gagnon) for 60 years. Loving father of Denise Vaneldert of Sault Ste Marie and Barb Richard of Ottawa. Cherished grandfather of Bram Vaneldert of Brussels. Survived by his brother Roger (Anne) Richard of Boston, MA. Predeceased by his brothers Gerry (Doris) Richard and Donny Richard. Len will be fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Born in Waltham, MA, Len grew up in Moncton, NB and studied Business Administration at Queen''s University. His work took him from the Caribbean to the Gaspe Coast where he met his wife Opal. Len eventually settled with his family in Toronto where he had a long career in sales and management before finally retiring to Ottawa. He found joy and solace in golf which he played avidly into his eightieth decade. A sports enthusiast with an uncanny knowledge of hockey, he also had a keen ear for music, impeccable rhythm and loved to dance. Len was a devoted husband and father and he will be dearly missed. A special thank you to the staff and friends at Thorncliffe Place Retirement Residence for their care and support. A Memorial Mass will be held on July 15 at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Bell''s Corners at 11 a.m. Funeral arrangements in the care of Kelly Funeral Home – Carling Chapel2313 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, ON K2B 7G3613-828-2313 In lieu of flowers, donations to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute or The Ontario Lung Association appreciated.
