PRESIDENT / OWNER

Richard was born in Edmonton, AB, and was raised in the Okanagan. By age eight, his father introduced him to funeral work by giving him basic cleaning responsibilities at the chapel (“Dad showed me exactly how to detail and clean the funeral cars,” recalls Richard.) Upon completing his post-secondary education in Vancouver and marrying in 1990, he began his full-time career with the family business. Richard serves as president of Springfield Funeral Home, leading a team of three managers, 8 licensed funeral directors, and 15 support staff. He and his wife Michelle have four children, Talina, Conrad, Alexander and Nicholas. Richard’s personal interests revolve around family and travel as well as outdoor activities such as cycling, motorcycle riding, skiing and snowboarding, camping, graphic arts, and photography.
