Dick Aldridge - January 19, 1941- June 26, 2004

My Story

Dick Aldridge, former Toronto Argonaut of the late 60's early 70's had been the picture of health. He never smoked or consumed alcohol, was physically fit and watched his weight. Pancreatic cancer destroyed the most important person in my life and left a huge void in our family. Dick was the quiet member of our family but we always knew he was there, a steady influence, someone we could depend on at all times. When he died, our son Rick suggested an annual golf tournament to keep his memory alive. I realized I had to turn a tragic loss into a positive event that would raise money to help in the fight against pancreatic cancer. By contacting Princess Margaret Hospital, I met Larry Haughton, a 5-year survivor of this disease, and the planning began. With a group of Dick's friends from far and wide, a committee was created and The Dick Aldridge Charity Golf Classic was born. The committee is hard working and determined to make our event a success. Without them I would not be able to cover the territory and make the contacts. I appreciate each and every one and give a heartfelt " THANK YOU".
