POINTE-SAPIN, NB - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our great friend, Alfred Richard, who passed away peacefully at the Stella-Maris-de-Kent Hospital, Sainte-Anne-de-Kent, on Saturday, March 25th 2023, at the age of 79. Alfred Richard, born in Pointe-Sapin, was the son of the late Charles and Léa (Daigle) Richard. Alfred is survived by his three sisters: Antoinette Richard of Sainte-Anne-de-Kent, Zella Martin (Richard) of Baie-Sainte-Anne and Gabriella Légère of Dieppe; his nephews, nieces, and very dear grand nephews and nieces, whom he loved as if they had been his own children.

Besides his parents, Alfred was predeceased by his sisters, Florine, Élodiane, as well as his three brothers, Vital, Léonard and Cyrille.

Before retiring, Alfred worked as a teacher for several years before being appointed Principal of the Pointe-Sapin School, and had a profound impact on his community and all those who came into contact with him. During his career, Alfred had a remarkable influence on the development and establishment of sports infrastructure in Pointe-Sapin. He was a golf enthusiast and member of the Saint-Ignace club for many years. He loved enjoying the good weather outside and taking his daily walks on the beautiful beach of Pointe-Sapin.
