(1945 鈥� 2014)
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Zarudzki on January 10, 2014 at his home in Courtenay, B.C. He leaves to mourn his beloved wife Janet (Brayton), his cherished son Michael in Vancouver, his sisters Hella (Richard Bertrand) and Julia Zarudzka (Sean Pritchard). Richard will be greatly missed by his nephews and nieces (Paul and Rebecca Bertrand, Jennifer Brayton, and Jamie Cantellow) as well as his many military and civilian friends.
Richard enjoyed fishing (most recently the sport of fly-fishing), crafting intricate cedar bird houses, and enhancing his considerable expertise with technology. Cruising the world with Janet and other friends became a passion in the last few years. He was well-known for his great sense of humour, his helping hand for family, friends, and neighbours, and his love of gathering together friends for fun, food, and festivities.
If desired, donations in his name to the Comox Valley Hospice Society (www.comoxhospice.com) would be greatly appreciated.
Richard鈥檚 wishes were for a Gathering of Friends. Please gather with us at the Comox Legion (1825 Comox Avenue) on Sunday, January 19 from 1-3pm.
