It is with incredible sadness that we announce the passing of Richard “Dick” Beadle on December 13, 2017 at the Crowsnest Pass Health Care Centre, Blairmore, AB. He was 81 years of age.
Dick was born in Burris, ON on July 21, 1936 to loving parents Ralph and Gertie Beadle. He lived in numerous places throughout his life, Atikokan, ON until December 1979 and then Pine Point, NT, before making the Crowsnest Pass his home in July 1980.
Dick was a friendly person who loved socializing, and he was well known for his affection for eating goodies of all kinds. More than anything, Dick loved his family. He was always there to support them in any way needed, and he never missed an opportunity to spend time with them. He will be loved and remembered always.
Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his life are his devoted daughters, Barb (Richard) Ellison and Tracy McClain; his beloved grandchildren, Dusty, Chris, Tylor, Ryan, Dale, Brittani, Kirsten, Riley, Mark and Makayla; his cherished great grandchildren, Lily and Sarah; his dear brother, Dave (Millie) of Kelowna, BC; as well as his extended family and many friends.
He was predeceased by his wife, Judy Taje-Beadle; his parents, Ralph and Gertie, Beadle; his son, Richard “Rick” Beadle; and his daughter, Janet Beadle.
With respect for Dick’s wishes, no funeral service will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (www.heartandstroke.ca). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
