The Texas Tornado
One of the nicest persons to join our Soiled Sport Trail Running Group, Richard Darling, passed away last week.
Richard was 86 and was trail running until just a few years ago and always was a joy to chat with, as his stories of growing up in Texas would have you in stitches.
To say I / we will miss him is an understatement.
Fond memories and telling of some of his stories told on trail runs will be shared for years to come, I am sure.
The following is his obituary as posted in the LFP.
At 86, Richard Irvin Darling passed quietly in the comfort of his Fox Hollow apartment home in London, Ontario after a challenging journey with ALS, with his loving wife, Violet, at his side. His four sons, James, John, Jerry and Jeff, and their families, celebrate his life and will always be thankful for how he continually found ways to give of himself as a father, supporter and role model. Richard was born in Muldoon, Texas and spent his high school years in Smithville, TX before heading to Baylor University. After History studies at Baylor and receiving his M.Div. at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, Richard pastored at Baptist convention churches across Canada for more than 50 years. In his retirement, he enjoyed running with the Pacers club, competing in the Canadian Masters, watching his grandchildren grow, and creating countless cherished memories with his sweetheart of 61 years.
A celebration of life will take place at 2 pm on April 4 at Westview Baptist Church (1000 Wonderland Rd. S).
