Richard Kim Gunn of Lethbridge passed away on Sunday, February 16, 2025, due to complications of cancer.

Kim was born on March 14, 1949, in Ontario. The family moved to Alberta in 1965. He started his working career in 1968 with the Department of Transportation, training in Ottawa and then posted to the Arctic and Yukon area. In 1971, Kim accepted an RCMP dispatch position in Lethbridge; he left in August of 1993. From there he became self employed as a First Aid instructor and Health and Safety consultant.

Then, he said the fun began; golf in the summer, next genealogy and the RC Club, flying model planes. He was a Mason and active in the Shriner’s. Many years were spent with a wine group, going through a large amount of wine and food. Then he began enjoying the taste of scotch.
