Longtime ÆßÐDzʿª½± employee, James Richards, has passed away

February 16th, 2022

James Richards, a familiar figure at ÆßÐDzʿª½± for almost 20 years, died on Saturday, Feb. 12 at the age of 73. James began at ÆßÐDzʿª½± as a security guard in 1994 before joining the staff of Plant and Facilities (now Facilities Management). He retired in 2013.

Apart from his good humour and helping hand in performing his duties, James was an outstanding ÆßÐDzʿª½± volunteer. He spent many hours of his free time preparing and staffing ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s often prize-winning St. Patrick’s Day float for 15 years. And every December for too many years to count, he could be found behind the bar serving drinks with a wink and a joke at ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s holiday parties.

James is survived by his partner Yvonne, his daughter Tara (Chris), grandchildren Dalia and Domenic, and his stepdaughter Vanessa.
