Notices of Death

Richard Hayter

It is with deep sorrow that we share the news that Richard Hayter passed away on Friday June 12th 2026.

Richard was a remarkable individual whose contributions to the building trades and the broader community were significant and far-reaching. He was always generous with his time, support, and wisdom, and his kindness touched countless lives. Throughout his career, he worked tirelessly to improve the lives of others and helped shape a stronger community for future generations.

Richard believed deeply in working together to create positive change. I believe he would encourage us to continue the important work he cared so much about—to support one another, advocate for workers, and remain committed to making a meaningful difference in our communities.

Richard's passing leaves a tremendous void, and he will be greatly missed by friends, colleagues, and all those whose lives he touched.

May Richard rest in peace, and may his memory continue to inspire us all.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Richard on Friday, July 10th from 2pm to 4pm at the Beechwood Cemetery.
