CUDDEFORD, John Richard - It is with great sadness to announce that John Richard Cuddeford passed away on June 17, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Gail Reaume of 47 years. His sister Lucinda Beckett; Good friends John and Judy Barnes of Calgary; Stepsons Mike and Andre Reaume; Daughter, Tamara Cuddeford; Son, Richard Cuddeford (Rosalie Hope); Daughter Danielle MacDuff (Darren MacDuff); His nephews Jimmy and Wayne Gillis; His Grandchildren: Chad Cuddeford, Serena MacDuff (Jarod), James MacDuff, Malcolm Wilson-Bobb, Cameron Grant, Laura Bell and Tyler Bell.

Dick followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather by serving in the Royal Canadian Navy for six years. Later, he enjoyed working in the rail industry at the Yaletown Roundhouse. From 1980 until his retirement in 2013 he worked at The Province newspaper as a manager for the carriers and as a union rep. He had a strong work ethic, which he instilled in his children as young paper carriers and nurtered throughout their life with encouragement and advice. Dick made a hobby of rebuilding computers and helping anyone who asked, with their tech issues. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and enjoyed family gatherings with lots of storytelling and laughs. He will be remembered for his straightforward, no nonsense approach to life and for his sense of humor often conveyed through his mischievous eyes, grin and silly laugh. You are forever in our hearts "Pops".
You will truly be missed. (The Vancouver Sun / The Province 20 Jun 2023)
