Richard passed away suddenly on February 10th, 2023. Missing him deeply is the love of his life, his beloved spouse Brenda. Also dearly missing him is his fur baby, Rose Marie. Richard is the much-loved brother of Dave Cracknell (Sara), Randy Cracknell (Kim), Lori Gregoul, Reg Cracknell (Linda), and Denise Briggs-Brown (Marlon). Proud uncle of Cody Briggs, and Vanessa Briggs (Justin). Dear nephew to Pauline Bernik, and David Bernik. Richard was predeceased by his parents, Joyce Bernik (Wayne Cracknell), and Donald Briggs, his in-laws Barb and Ken Alderton, as well as his grandparents, Marie and Paul Bernik. Richard is also deeply missed by best friend Aaron (Angel), and the Copogna family.
Richard was full of passion. Anything and everything to do with trucks, Richard was the guy. He worked hard as a truck driver for Copogna Flowers, and for many years created truck model kits. Richard left a mark on everyone and will forever be missed by his family and friends.
