Richard Rupert Monkman, 63, born July 12th, 1949 from Prince Rupert, BC passed away peacefully on December 6th, 2012, surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his partner, Donna Scoular, his two children, Jessica and Marvin and his sister, Julie. Richard attended the Jericho Hill School for the Deaf, University Hill High School and Gallaudet College. His many friends throughout his life from Vancouver and Toronto will remember his cheerful spirit and genuine loving acceptance of everyone. Those of us fortunate enough to have known him towards the end of his life witnessed the value of love, friendship and family.
