elevated ISqnP Obituary

elevated ISqnP Richard Walter Gottfried

elevated ISqnP It is with overwhelming sadness to announce the passing of Richard Walter Gottfried on February 10, 2024. Richard`s hard working 83 year journey through life reached its end last Saturday while he was visiting his wife and holding her hand at Milton District Hospital. Richard was lovingly devoted to his wife Joan and a faithful brother to Theresa, Charles (Judi), Raymond (Betty-Anne) and Carmen (late Wendy). He was loved by his children Jeff, Kim (Norbert) and Scott (Raheela); adored by his grandchildren Mary, Amber and Clara. Predeceased by his parents Adam and Magdalen Gottfried (née Schnerch), Richard was a dear uncle to many nieces and nephews and will be fondly remembered by his aunts, uncles and cousins.

elevated ISqnP Richard was respectful, kind and an inspiration to many; he could always put people at ease with his sense of humor (or make their eyes roll). He will be remembered by family and friends for his love and generosity and for how much he and Joan cared for each other and their entire family. Both Rich and Joan opened their doors on countless occasions to bring people into their home who were in need of a good, stable place to grow and thrive. Fondest memories were when travelling with his wife, participating in World Wide Marriage Encounter and entertaining friends through “white glove dinners’’.  Richard enjoyed a rewarding career as a journeyman electrician spanning more than 50 years and was a valued member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 353; a true testament of his strength of character, professionalism and commitment to fair working conditions.

elevated ISqnP Richard will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
