  15. Stew Horton

    On behalf of all of us at Brady’s I would like to express to the Nowe family our sadness, shock and condolences on Richard’s passing. As you know he was in the store almost every day and was considered one of our extended family. He had a heart of gold and loved to kid, joke and give us a hard time, but always with a twinkle in his eye. He was always loyal to our business and our staff and I can’t tell you how much we valued that and tried to reciprocate. Early mornings will not be the same without him and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

  21. From, Richard's cousin, Barbara Ann (Nowe) Roy Yarmouth & Richard's Uncle Carl

    To Uncle Milford ,Cousin Donna ,,,( and to all of the Nowe Family ) … I was extremly shocked and saddened when my Dad Carl ( Richard’s Uncle ) called me on Thursday and told me about Richard being in hospital , then again early on Friday morning, to tell me that he had passed away. It’s still so hard to believe… My Dad always talked very highly of Richard from being a nice man, a hard worker, and also of the good carpentry work that Richard has done over the years. Not that long ago he had done some work on my Dad’s house for him and, my Dad couldn’t say enough about it and his carpentry work .Dad always told me that he was a real good carpenter and he took his time and took pride in his work. Dad often talked about Richard on his lunch breaks eating lunch at Dad’s kitchen table and chatting away with Dad while he was on his lunch breaks every day, when he was at my Dad’s doing carpentry work… Several people we knew had work done by Richard and they all told my Dad the same thing ( that he was very good at what he did, and that if they ever needed any work done again that Richard would be the one that they would call.) My Dad also had some more work that he was planning on getting done and he was planning on calling Richard to do the job…. I also remember the nice chat that we had when I was home for my Mom’s funeral, he was there and he came over to me to talk, he was so caring….That was 10 years ago now, and it was the last time that I had saw him. I won’t forget his caring words to me though….. Richard will be missed by many and he will be remembered for the hard working kind man that he was…. He is now with Aunt Jenny. Please know that we are thinking of you all, and Dad sends his love and prayers to you Uncle Milfy,(he says he will be talking to you soon) … Rest Easy Richard . From your Cousin in Yarmouth ,Barbara Ann (Nowe) Roy & family ( your Uncle Carl’s daughter ) & your Uncle Carl . <3

  57. Robert Ross and Mary Ediger

    To Richard’s wife, Paul, Richie and other family members: My wife and I were so very saddened to hear of Richard’s passing. We first met Richard nearly 10 years ago when Richard, Paul and crew did some hardwood floor installation for us. The professionalism and high quality of Richard’s work was outstanding, so much so that we continued to engage Richard whenever we needed projects done. Beyond Richard’s high standard of carpentry work, we were more impressed with his honesty, his friendly and warming nature, and how he genuinely treated us as friends. It is this down to earth character of Richard that we shall sincerely miss. Richard was a gentleman with a gentle soul. The photo of Richard so captures the integrity that he lived by everyday. He was such a beautiful person. So shocking that he is gone.
    We send sincere condolences to the family and hope that you can somehow find strength in knowing that Richard touched many lives in such a special way.

  62. Linda and Jim Smith

    Dear Liz, Richard and Paul

    We were very saddened and shocked to read in the paper today of Richard’s passing. Richard was always a joy to see and meet. His warm and welcoming smile raised your spirits. Words cannot express our appreciation for his help and advice over the last 10 years with our old house on Bell’s Point Rd. He was more like a family member to us and someone we could always depend upon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, the family that he cared so much about.
    Jim and Linda Smith

  64. Pam/Brian Foley

    Brian & I are deeply saddened by Richard’s passing. I remember him best when he drove delivery truck for Canada Post, and would pick up our parcels when I worked for a warehouse in Charleston. We always looked forward to his daily visits and enjoyed keeping him longer than necessary, just to talk. He was one of the “good guys”. Take care, he will be missed.
