In Celebration of

Richard "Dick" Bradbeer

July 20, 1933 - February 10, 2021

Passed peacefully in Mississauga, on Wednesday, February 10th at the age of 87. Beloved husband of Maureen "Mo" (deceased May 19, 2013) for 52 years and loving father of Linda (Martha) and David (Nikki). Proud grandfather of William (Amanda) and Jake. Dear brother of the late Shirley Fisher of Kitchener.

Dick was known for his years of loyal service with Labatt's Breweries, Toronto Blue Jays, and numerous charities and organizations. His family and countless friends knew him for his generous heart, fabulous sense of humour, and kindness towards everyone. He always had a joke or two to share. His passion was golf, his family, and the Jays!

Due to covid, a formal gathering is delayed but we will announce a Celebration of Life event in the future once the restrictions are lifted. No flowers or donations at this time but condolences may be made through the guestbook tab on the website.

Linda, Martha, David and Nikki, my sincere condolences to you and the entire family. I loved your father like a brother so I too will miss him very much. Please remember that there is a large external family that is sharing your grief. With our combined memories, we have much to smile about and much to praise him with. He will live on for many generations in the memories we share.

Our hearts were hurt when we heard the news of Dick's passing. He was not only a dear friend but someone who I looked upon as a mentor, teacher and coach. His warmth and friendship is something Denise and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. He always had time for me as I worked my way into the sports and corporate world and while on occasion another brewery got in the way of a formal business relationship, that never got in the way of our friendship. Rest in peace our good friend - you are already missed. And your retirement party from Labatt is still talked about. Love Ken and Denise

I was so very sad to hear about Dick’s passing. He was a gentleman in the true sense of the word. I will miss him and his always sunny (and funny) disposition. We met through the Conn Smythe Dinner and Toronto Argonauts and lately through Sports Media Canada. Rest In peace, Richard.

David,

Sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father. While his physical presence may leave a hole in your life, you will find that the memories become stronger, the stories of childhood adventures or times together will make you smile more often, and then you begin to realize that the hole is being filled in a different way...but still by him.
