John Richard Lindemann
November 1st, 2014
John Richard Lindemann, late of Regina, died peacefully on November 1, 2014, with his family at his side at the age of 78 years. Richard was born on November 15, 1935 in Silton, SK., one of six children to Emil and Olga Lindemann. He married his wife Helen on November 26, 1955 and they went on to live in Saskatoon, Weyburn, Regina, and Elbow.
Richard enjoyed his working life as tradesman and proprietor of his own upholstery business. He also delighted in many outdoors activities including boating, fishing, and golfing. He loved spending time with his family, friends, and especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
The family wishes to thank the many people who visited Richard in his final months and the staff at Regina Wascana Grace Hospice for their care in making his last few weeks free of pain. Richard is predeceased by his brother Bill and daughter Connie. He is survived by his loving wife Helen, his sister Eleanor, his brothers Bert, Lloyd, and Sam, his sons Brian, Dale (Wendy) and Robert (Debra), his eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren. In lieu of a funeral, the family will hold a private gathering to honour Richard’s life later this month.

Mrs. Lindemann, Brian, Dale, Rob and families we are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you during this very difficult time. We have many great memories of growing up next door to all of you and your dad! The Wight Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with Aunty Helen, Brian, Dale, Rob and families. Uncle Dick was a great man and will be sadly missed. Cherish your memories. We keep them forever. Hugs to all.
Richard was a very special person and he will be missed greatly. We always enjoyed the time we spent with him talking and laughing over Sunday Brunch and then later in the hospital. He had a very good sense of humour always. We wish to send our prayers and hugs to you, Helen and your family.
Dear Helen and Families, I was saddened to see that Richard had passed. He was a good friend of my father's and always a welcome visitor in the J Nichol shop... so very sorry. I know, that after your grief starts to subside, you will have fond and cherished memories of Richard. I have every belief in the world that he is now free from pain and is in a perfect place. That, in itself, I find very comforting. I hope you do too. Take care, With love and sympathy, Roberta and Ken Nichol
