It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Richard Crites on Friday September 30th, 2022 at the age of 55. Richard leaves behind his loving mother Irene Crites, his father Frank Sr (predeceased), two older brothers, Frank (Monique) Henri (Kathy). He had a special place in his heart for his stepson Stephen Gelinas. Richard will be lovingly remembered by his nephews, nieces, aunts and uncles as well as his many cousins.
Richard’s loss will be deeply felt by his work colleagues in Dryden Ontario where he ended his career as a Krown Spray Manager at RES. He will always be remembered for his infectious laughter, witty sense of humor, daily whistling and singing in the shop. Richard was always ready and willing to help others, naturally displaying a genuine friendliness to whomever he met.

Richard always made everyday we were on rotation so enjoyable – the laughter he instilled in all his interactions was always delightful – Richard was family. A gentle loving soul, Richard will be missed dearly by his many work friends, all of us whom had the pleasure of spending our work lives together. Sadly missed, and always remembered.
