Richmond loses sporting giant
Richmond loses sporting giant
Terry Kehoe loved slo-pitch. And football.
Which one he loved more can be debated. But
the fact is, Kehoe loved both. Above all, he loved sports and throughout his
life dedicated considerable time to advancing it.
Kehoe passed away suddenly Jan. 6, leaving
behind a family he adored and, in extension, a Richmond sports community with
an impossible void to fill.
Originally from the Ottawa area, Kehoe first
made a big impression on the local football scene—from equipment manager to
head coach. His efforts were recognized with one of the highest honours one can
receive in the gridiron game, as the BC Lions lauded his efforts a few years
ago at the annual Orange Helmet Awards. The proceeds from the marquee event
support amateur football in the province.
In the last few years, Kehoe stepped up to
take on responsibility for organizing the annual Richmond Sports Awards. This
initiative recognizes the efforts of athletes and volunteers throughout the
local sports community.
Those who knew Kehoe are struggling to come
to grips with his passing.
“I can’t believe it,” said Jim Lamond, who
until recently chaired the Richmond Sports Council on which Kehoe was an active
member.
