It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of LEONARD "LEN" ALBERT RICHARDSON, at the age of 83. He passed away peacefully, in ICU, with his family by his side, on Thursday, December 28, 2017. Len is survived by his loving wife, of 60 years, Doreen.
He also leaves behind his children, Denise (Jamie) Harding, Lorraine (Andy) Brayne, and Gary (Laura) Richardson, his grandchildren, Marc (Shari), Lindsay (Bill), Ryan (Michelle), Justin (Jamie), Tyler (Lindsey), Devon (Jocelyn), Brad, and Michelle (Johnny), and 9 great-grandchildren.
Len was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Elsie, and siblings Frank, Stella and Brenda, all of Worthing, England. He is survived by his sister Julie (Reg) Riddles in Ontario.
Len was born in Sussex, England, on Feb 28, 1934. He married Doreen Pilkington, in 1957 and along with their 3 children, they immigrated to Canada in 1973. Len worked for many years at the Lethbridge Brewery, until his retirement, and made several lifelong friends while employed there.
Len's workmates nicknamed him "The Colonel" and Cory, but at home he was known as Dad, Grampa, and Papa.
Len had a never-ending quest to "win the lottery". He will be remembered for his quick wit and dry sense of humour that always made us smile. Whether being the life of the party, or a "Grumpy old Grampa", he was loved by all, and will be dearly missed.
A Memorial Reception will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 - Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, on Wednesday, January 3rd, 2018 from 11:00 A.M. to 1:30 P.M., giving family & friends a time to share memories and enjoy a lunch.
