Richard Edward Black

Dear Rick and Rita, I am so sorry to hear about your father’s death. I wish you and your family blessings and peace in this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to Richard's family. I have seen him less than a handful of times since our high school graduation in 1957. My favourite memory is when he was 'Frank Butler' to my 'Annie Oakley' when we did "Annie, Get Your Gun" - a very fun time - very long ago!!! Celoris (Hackbart) Miller, Winnipeg

Fond memories of cousin Richard and his dad, Uncle Will, coming up to Camp Douglas Lodge in February 1983, to assist in raising me to the Master Mason Degree, then again in the spring of '88 to present a Past Master card and ceremonial gavel. In addition to the family and Masonic ties, music was also a connection, when I was honored to pay the organ at his Installation as Master of his Lodge, and serve as pianist for his daughter, Rita's, wedding. And there's all the memories of visiting the farm when we were kids, even though Richard and his siblings enjoyed teasing their city-slicker cousin. All in fun. Our deepest condolences to the family for the loss of a life well-lived. Please accept our regrets, as Ann and I will be unable to make it to the Memorial Service. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all. With love, Cousin Leo Clark
