Richard Joseph Gendur

August 15, 1939                June 16, 2019
Yorkton, SK                      Edmonton, AB

On Sunday, June 16, 2019, following the early morning sunrise, Richard peacefully left this world with his wife by his side. Richard had hope and faith for the future and took on the challenges presented to him, but in the end, he knew and God knew it was time to raise him up to a higher place.

Richard is survived by his wife Margaret of 37 years; his son Greg; his step-daughters Nicole (Lane) and Granddaughters Olivia and Julia; Carrie-Lynn (Barry) and Grandson Zach; brother Robert (Marilyn); nephews Ian (Zane) and Brian (Minette) and family. He was predeceased by his daughter Dawna; his parents Adeline and Joseph.

To have had him in our lives has been a treasure, to have him leave us has been heart-breaking but we trust that he is at peace, and that his journey, well travelled, will bring him rewards he is so deserving of.

A Celebration of Life with Celebrant Reverend Paul Kavanagh will be held on Friday, June 21, 2019 at 10:00 AM at Trinity Funeral Home, 10530 116 Street NW Edmonton, AB

Life is Like a Round of Golf

Life is like a round of golf
With many a turn and twist.
But the game is much too sweet and short
To curse the shots you’ve missed.
Sometimes you’ll hit it straight and far
Sometimes the putts roll true
But each round has it’s errant shots
And troubles to play through.
So always swing with courage
No matter what the lie
And never let the hazards
Destroy the joy inside.
And keep a song within your heart
Give thanks that you can play
For the round is much too short and sweet
To let it slip away.
