<div itemprop="description">Richard passed away at the age of 85 peacefully at the Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. Predeceased by his partner in life Shirley Rideout and survived by his wife Mary (Quinn) Dinner. Also predeceased by his parents Richard John Dinner and Florence (Greengrass) Dinner as well as his 3 brothers Victor, Gerald and Bruce. He will be fondly remembered by many family and friends. Richard began his working life in Montreal with Canadian Oil which was later taken over by Shell Oil. Not too long after he became self-employed with his brother Victor in Grant's Direct Mailing Services. Norman Keyes, who survives Richard, became a 3rd partner at some later date. In 1969 they opened an office in Toronto where the full business eventually moved. Until Richard's retirement they had an offshoot of Standard Bred Racing Horses under the business name of Grant's Direct Stables which gave them years of pleasure and fun. He will be missed by Norman who was just like a brother and his very good friends Irving Litvack and Simon and Lorraine Bramson. We will all miss Richard's very sharp mind and unique sense of humour. A memorial Reception will be held at the Mount Pleasant Visitation Centre, 375 Mount Pleasant Rd. on January 6th from 2-5pm.</div>
