We Remember

MOORE, Richard “Dick” Henry

February 15, 1938 — August 5, 2022

Dick Moore passed away peacefully at Brookhaven Care Home (in Kelowna, BC) on August 5, 2022, at the age of 84 years. He is survived by Gail Bengough, his “Baby Sister” as he referred to her his whole life; as well as by his nephew Brandon (Bryn) and their son Jesse; his nephew Lance (Lisa) and their daughter Emily and son Max; his niece Darci (Terry); and many godchildren. He was predeceased by Betty Moore in 2006, his beloved mother.

Born and raised in Kitsilano in Vancouver, BC, Dick was proud to be a Kits kid. Throughout his school years, he enjoyed playing rugby and forged lasting friendships with his teammates. He was part owner of some racehorses, which he was incredibly proud of. He had a soft spot for all 4-legged friends.

Dick enjoyed a lifelong career with Burrard/Allied shipbuilders in North Vancouver, BC. To be closer to his mother and sister, after retirement he bought a beautiful home overlooking Wood Lake, which also reflected his love of nature.

Although he was soft-spoken, he was a good storyteller with a strong sense of family history and a mischievous sense of humour.

The family would like to thank the staff at Brookhaven, who made his final year as comforting as possible.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the SPCA.

    I worked alongside Dick for many years at Allied Shipbuilders. He was very good at his job but I especially remember him as a very likeable guy with a great sense of humour. I considered him a friend.

    Richard was our neighbor for 15 years in Winfield. He always had his dog beside him, where Richard went the dog went . Being a bachelor , he had many meals with us and he really enjoyed my hubby’s cooking. When we were together we had many laughs with Richard and his cheeky personality. With his sense of humour one day, we all thought we could sing, so trying karaoke when Richard stood up with a thick wig on his head to have us believe he might be a Willy Nelson impersonator . Richard loved his dogs and spoiled them with love and cookies. Farewell my old friend, you will always be remembered. Every life leaves a trail. My sympathies to the family.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
