He continued his studies at the University of Toronto, specializing in Anaesthesiology and graduating in 1984. Richard was a well-respected and earnest physician who practiced at Doctor's Hospital, and later at Mount Sinai Hospital, in Toronto. Richard was an avid sailor who loved spending time on his boat, Sunny, and had a deep knowledge of computers and a genuine fascination with how things worked. He had a lifelong love of dogs, music, film, and motorcycles. Curious and friendly, Richard enjoyed conversation and had a natural ability to connect with people. He was always ready to offer his assistance to others. He will be fondly remembered by his family, friends, and colleagues. (The Globe and Mail 10 Oct 2026)
