Richard Mikado

RICHARD BRUCE MIKADO August 1, 1953 - April 29, 2014 The family of RICHARD BRUCE MIKADO are sad to announce his sudden passing at the Chinook Regional Hospital on April 29, 2014. Richard was born in Magrath, Alberta to Sam and June Mikado. After graduating from Magrath High School he enrolled in Business Administration at Lethbridge Community College. Richard worked for many years as Payroll Director at Lethbridge Regional Hospital and then moved to the Barrhead Healthcare Center where he worked as Payroll/HR Systems Administrator. Richard was an enthusiastic curler and golfer. He loved watching hockey and participating in hockey pools with his many friends. He had a great sense of humor and a strong work ethic, often working overtime to ensure that payroll, benefits and budgets were all running smoothly. The last eleven years were difficult for Richard as he struggled with serious health issues. Richard was predeceased by his parents, Sam and June and by his brother Don. He is fondly remembered by his sister Patti (Jim) Spencer, his brothers Jim (Chiemi) Mikado and Ron Mikado, his sister-in-law Karen Mikado (Don-deceased) and by Betty Hanson. He will also be missed by his nieces Jackie Spencer, Taya Mikado and Sammy Mikado, and by his nephew Graham (Jen) Spencer, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins. Thank you to the Handi-Bus Service and to the staff at St. Therese Villa and Edith Cavell Care Centre for the kind and loving care that he received. Also a thank you to MJ Andrews for companionship through the CAPCC Program.
