Tomorrow will have been Richard Norman Pyle's 70th birthday. I wish for so many things with respect to him I don't know where to start. Wishes for forgiveness for things I did that I can't take back. Wishes for things we talked about for years, but never got around to. Wishes for all the things he wanted from this life, but they just weren't part of the plan. I wish him a happy 70th birthday and pray all is well tomorrow as it will always be perfect in God's light

THIS man was and remains the love of my life. And typically (so me to say this), I wake up in the middle of the night spiritual vacant and hurting then suddenly feel the need to Google search his name to ONLY wake to my worst fear realized. Mediation in 2007 meant we got to try and move on with our lives after 15+ years. As per his wishes I never inflicted myself on him again. Rich, I can only guess, was incredibly loved and taken in by loving family, coworkers and closer friends. I moved to Ontario to clean up my life and earned almost a decade of abstinence recovery and a RPN certification,.. these limited things as measures of something good in a life lived as F'd up as mine could have only been possible via the Pyle family and specifically those who came to 75 Stapleford and gave thanks and praise to the Lord when it mattered most. To say Richard was high level protector angel made human on earth is not large enough to capture the loss we all feel. He wanted me to be his Canada Goose. I kept myself out of that equation for fear of having to live up to it, but we all know the depth and loyalty that came with his perfect welcoming eternal LOVE. RNP be happy with God and please forgive me for not bashing in the front door to beg forgiveness, give bedside support and a hug one more time just say it out loud; YOU WERE LOVED AND THOUGHT ABOUT AND MISSED MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY THAT WENT BY THAN ANYONE CAN EVER IMAGINE. Now go find 'Spot' and 'Roxy'. They miss you too!!! XXXX

No one can know how much I miss you. I regret not being able to do anything for you when you needed me. I'll try and be a better man, because sometimes I believe I can feel you, even if it's not real.. it's never less than supportive. I pray everyday for you. I hope you've felt it,. It's real.

Do you remember going to Montreal at Christmas and making a turkey for folks who thought we were nuts for making the effort. And the one guy at our table asking, "do you eat like this all the time?" And us sheepishly responding, ".. yeah." You were the essence of Christmas at that moment and it still makes me laugh. Thanks for Notre Dam and the grace you held up at that moment. You affect others Rich, deeply. XXXX

I thought of Richard as my good friend in school. Of course, those days were long ago. He was funny, quirky and, yes, stubborn. I saw Richard a couple of times after school was over. He was a nice and friendly guy. I am very sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your brother and uncle. Richard was a wonderful classmate and friend. We shared many laughs together and I loved his stories of his experiences with his beloved animals. My family and I always looked so forward to visiting him on the farm, the animals and exotic birds. A man with a beautiful heart and a gentle spirit.
