We were so fortunate to have Mr. Richardson as a teacher for both of our daughters at John Wanless.

First our youngest daughter had Tim for Grade 1, where interests and hobbies were explored and a community of life long learners was established. Then, our older daughter had him the following year for Grade 5. She came home on the first day marvelling at the warm, positive and caring feeling in the room created in just one day!

I had the pleasure to work with Tim as a co-class parent those two years and witnessed first hand his caring, compassion, ideas and desire to always go the extra mile.

It was ETT Federation Day today and Martin Luther King III referred to an inscription that he had read (I wish I could remember the exact words!). It said in a nutshell the importance of leaving the world a better place than when you came.  Tim, you certainly did that!  

Our sincerest condolences to your family.

With great fondness, 

Katelyn, Madeline, Paul Sahota and Susan Siurna
