It is with regret that we share the passing of our colleague Richard Avery. Richard started in 1991 as an Agricultural Assistant and then manager at the OMAFA/Bio beef bull test barn. He then joined the Animal Biosciences department in 1995 and provided IT support as Computer/Network Technician. Following his successful career in IT, Richard went back to school and received a B.A.Sc in Adult Development and a Master of Social Work and became a registered social work and psychotherapist.

This is a sad and difficult time and our thoughts and condolences go to Richard’s family.
