With broken hearts we, the family of Richard (Dick) Winstanley regret to announce the passing of our dad at the Northside General Hospital at the age of 93. The son of the late Richard and Margaret (Vickers) Winstanley. He was the last surviving member of his family.

In retirement, Richard loved playing darts or bowling with his family and close friends. An avid sports fan, he loved following all things Toronto and loved watching his Blue Jays and Maple Leafs, even if they didn’t win.
 Richard is survived by his son David, daughters Denise and Margie (Michael), and grandchildren Jeff (Julie), Richard (Brittany), Neil (Kayla), and Patrice. As well as his great-grandchildren Payton, Clara, Quincy, Bentley, Eliviah, Eli, Eva, Nyx, Juliana, Isabella, and Marley, he loved them all with his whole heart.
