Richard Clara

In loving memory of Richard Clara who passed away in Toronto, January 24th, 2020 at the age of 41 years. Survived by his loving wife Anik Therrien Clara. His proud parents, Patrick and Corine Clara. His brothers Colin Clara (wife, Reena)and Irving Clara. Nephews, Adam and Alex. Richard lived and breathed his family.
A man blessed with many qualities, he often charmed his friends and family with his intelligence, his irresistible smile and his kind heart. Richard was the essence of courage. He often enjoyed making others laugh with his quick witt. This caring soul is now at peace with God.
In keeping with Richard’s request, there will be no visitation and no funeral service. Donations made to The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation – Fund allocation : Lung Cancer Research Fund ( https://thepmcf.ca/Donate-Now) would be appreciated.

”And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.” – Maya Angelou

Philippe Tremblay
Chère Anik,
Il y a de cela quelques années, Richard et moi avions découvert que mes enfants étudient où vous enseignez; ce n’est donc pas de cette façon que j’imaginais que nous ferions connaissance.
Depuis son premier jour au sein de la même compagnie, j’ai eu l’énorme plaisir de travailler de près avec Richard. J’ai énormément appris de lui; non seulement était-il un expert dans sa profession, mais aussi une personne avec une sensibilité, une soif d’apprendre et une boussole morale hors du commun. Il nous manquera tous.
Les pensées de ma famille se joignent aux miennes pour vous offrir tout nos condoléances les plus sincères.
Philippe Tremblay

My deepest and sincere condolences to the Clara family.
Richard and I worked together on several initiatives at HOOPP and every interaction with him was calm and poised, even under pressure. He was a gentle being and it showed with every interaction he had. We used to talk about the “voice of reason” and I am sure every one will miss that. Deeply saddened.
Please let me know if I can be of any help.
