Continued from pg. 1 He said throughout the experience rage built inside because he had his father in his arms and just wanted to get Sutton to safety. "This is a dream and I want it to end right now," he recalled thinking, but since it wasn't, he thought about his mother and his girlfriend's 14-month-old baby. "I wanted to do more, but I couldn't," he said. "I wasn't going to let my father go." Several fishing boats passed by, but nobody saw them, until one passerby finally noticed them and immediately radioed a distress signal around 11 a.m. That was when police and other boaters converged on the scene to mount the rescue. Richards, a shipper and receiver with PL Foods in Georgetown, and Sutton were taken to Trillium Health Centre. Sutton was discharged late Sunday afternoon, while Richards was kept overnight for observation. Richards said his father, whose passion was fishing, was on disability from a workplace accident in a brake factory that had resulted in his right leg being amputated. He said his father, whom he called his dearest friend, had taken part in countless fishing derbies in the area over the decades. "All I know is that I won't step on another boat," said Richards. "I may not even go fishing anymore. It was "our" thing." Among the first on the rescue scene were Peter Fairweather and Dan Lotual of Oakville, who found Bryan Richards and Sutton shivering in another fisherman's boat. Richards was reaching over the stern holding onto his father's leg, unable to pull him over the gunwhale. "There was no way to hoist him. He was a pretty big guy," said Fairweather. They hooked a rope around Richards' leg so his son could be treated by police and paramedics. Roger Richards' brother-in-law John (Jack) Stufko of Georgetown said the man was going to be "greatly missed." "He had a heart as big as all outdoors and he would help anyone," said Stufko, who added the man was not only his brother-inlaw, but his best friend. "He's helped Linda (Stufko's spouse) and I out so much in the past," he said. He said Richards loved fishing and had fished all over Ontario. He said although his boat was called the Left-Handed Newfie, his brother-in-law was not from Newfoundland. He moved to Canada from England several years ago and had lived in Georgetown for about 30 years. "That (the boat's name) was a trademark of Roger's sense of humour. He was a real character," said Stufko, who believes Richards named the boat after a friend. Stufko said Richards had health problems as he was diabetic and had suffered a heart attack in the past. He believes he suffered a heart attack in the water Sunday. At press time a spokesperson for Peel Regional Police said the results of a post mortem confirm that the cause of death was not drowning, and that Richards heart stoppage was due in part to hypothermia. Richards is survived by his wife Donna, children Patrick and Bryan and his mother Sarah. Visitation will be at J.S. Jones & Son Funeral Home tomorrow (Thursday) from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. The funeral and committal service will be held in the chapel Friday at 1 p.m. --With files from Torstar News Service
