Obituary of Richard QUIRK

QUIRK, Richard John QUIRK, Richard, of Port Dover, after a lifetime of joy and laughter shared with family and friends, it is with love in our hearts that we announce Richard's passing at Norfolk General Hospital on Friday, August 21, 2009 in his 68th year. Lovingly remembered by his wife Roberta "Bobbie", his children, Fiona and her husband Jean Paul and Graham and his wife Hannah; and his greatest joys, his grandchildren, Tristan and the soon to arrive "Bump". Born in 1942 in Glasgow, Scotland, Richard emigrated to Canada in 1966. He coached youth soccer for many years in Simcoe and was a former president of Port Dover Minor Hockey. To the end, he believed the Maple Leafs would win the Stanley Cup again! In keeping with Richard's wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life gathering will be held Sunday, October 25, 2009 from 1 pm to 4 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #158, Port Dover. For those wishing, donations to Port Dover Minor Hockey (for children unable to pay for registration) would be greatly appreciated. Arrangements have been entrusted to THOMPSON WATERS FUNERAL HOME, Port Dover (519) 583-1530.
