A lovely service to commemorate a kind and warm man. I wished we would have known him better in this life. Praying for you all.
Matthew Gordon McLean/Taylor My father was an amazing person, he was a true gentleman. He would treat us McLean kids like gold , myself and my brother Dale and sister Sarah, and show us around the lower mainland and always find fun things for us to do. I grew up having him near by and leaned on him when life threw me a few curve balls. Hiking and baseball were some of my favorite times with dad. I remember making a bet with him when I was in minors baseball. It was mid or late season, I said , "dad if I get a homerun you'll have to give me 100$!" We would bet on lots of things, one sided bets lol. He knew I couldn't hit over the fence. He said, "I'll give you 100$ for every homerun for the rest of the season!" Zap! in a second I was a lightning bolt! I would ignored my baseball coaches instructions and would run like the wind, never stopping when they told me to. I ended that season with 5 in field home runs and toy money haha
Grieving with you through this time of sadness.
Richard, our hearts are less heavy when we consider that you are with our gentle Saviour--yet in the meantime, we will miss your bright, eager smile and warm handshake. Taylor Family, our condolences to you all.

Missing you so much. We wish the girls could have met you. We know how much you loved and adored Anna and were so excited for violets arrival. Love Matthew and the girls.
Richard welcomed me into his family with open arms when I moved to Lethbridge. He helped me come closer in my faith with Jesus. He will be greatly missed.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words. 1 Thess 4:16,17 Looking forward to that day when we shall see him face to face.
