Fact 1*This is a photo of Richard John Wesley Shier and his wife Sarah Ann McLaughlin taken on the steps of the side door to their rural farm home south of Semans Sask circa 1925.

This is likely the replacement house as the first house just nicely got built when the roof caught fire mid winter and it burned to the ground. They think it was sparks from the chimney of the  wood fire that ignited the roof and they had no way of fighting it.
 
They were forced to move in to an empty  granary where they spent the rest of the cold Sask winter. In spring they went to Semans with horses and wagon and brought back the first of many loads of  lumber and began to build the  new house. As of 2015 the house is is still standing---the roof leaks badly as the shingles are almost all missing.

Death*He died on 30 October 1916 at age 85; Obituary in the death of Richard Loftus Shier at his home in Sunderland on Oct. 30, 1916 the Township of Brock is minus another of its few remaining pioneers. The late Mr. Shier was born at Lot 4, Conc. 5, Brock on the 16th of April 1831, being the fourth son of the late Richard and Catherine Shier who came from Ireland about 1822. They took up land and made a home for their family near Odelltown, Montreal but remained there just eight years, when they left Quebec and settled on the farm in Brock where the son Loftice was born. Both parents lived to ripe ages, viz: about four score and 2 years. When the late Richard Loftice Shier became a man he married Miss Mary Ann Speiran on the 27th February, 1866. They settled on part of lot 5 on the 6th concession of Brock , where a large family of children were raised, viz: Richard J. of Toronto; George D. of Uxbridge; Julius H. of Vroomanton; Mrs. Robt. Murray38,38,38,246,246,240] of Zephyr; Mrs. R.C.Hoskin of Toronto; Mrs. W.C. Francis, Cannington and one son deceased. In 1913 the parents moved to Sunderland, retiring from active life and from the farm where they had long and faithfully toiled. and raised a family which long since had grown up and "called them blessed". Only one brother, George, survives, and to him is given the credit of carrying much of the early history to Brock in his well trained memory. Be it said of Loftice Shier, he was a good father, and a lonely home is left. It must be so, these tender human ties cannot be severed without a pang. Yet in such a death there is really no cause for grief. His life's work was done, and well done. Wearied with life's cares, weary of suffering, he lay down to rest. The funeral was largely attended and was conducted by Rev. H.E. Wellwood of the Methodist church, assisted by Rev. W.G. Aldridge. Internment took place at St.John Cemetery.2
Burial*He was buried in St John's Cemetery, Brock Twp, Sunderland, Ontario County, Ontario, Canada.

Death*He died on 26 January 2021 in Lions Gate Hospital, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, at age 90; Rich Shier passed away peacefully at Lions Gate Hospital, after a lengthy decline due to dementia. He had lived a full life that included an intellectually stimulating career, a loving family, cultural interests, outdoor pursuits, and travel.
is predeceased by his parents, Morley and Joyce Shier, and by his sister, Stephanie Outtrim, and brother, Philip. He is remembered fondly by his survivors: Lenora, his wife of 66 years; children Jenny Wallace (David), Robin (Carol), and Daniel (Helen Stappers); as well as grandchildren Lindsay, Saskia, Emily, Malcolm, Hannah, and Ben.
was born in Vancouver, grew up in Point Grey, and graduated from Lord Byng Secondary School. He attended UBC, receiving both a Bachelor degree in Engineering Physics (1952), and a Master of Science degree in Physics and Metallurgy (1953). He then won a two year Athlone Fellowship, which enabled him to study in Rugby, England. In the middle of his fellowship, he was granted permission to return to Vancouver to marry his sweetheart, Lenora (née Shobrook), in July, 1954, and together they returned to England. In 1955, Rich continued his advanced studies at Imperial College, London, and when completed, he and Lenora embarked on a six month adventure on a BSA Bantam motorbike through Europe, visiting Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and Yugoslavia. They then returned home to Vancouver, and Rich began working in Research and Development for IPEC and then became the head of the newly formed research group at BC Hydro. Rich was highly respected in his field; he attended and presented at many international conferences, and he mentored many of his junior colleagues. In 1961, he and Lenora had a "Lewis House" built for them on Madrona Crescent, near Horseshoe Bay, where they raised their three children as far away as one could be from the city, with mountains and ocean nearby and clean air to breathe, amid the smells of the trees and woods. Until 1964, their only car was a 1926 Dodge Touring car, which Rich had had since his university days.
retired from BC Hydro in 1988 and soon became involved in the Peace Movement, in particular with Project Ploughshares, and he was among those who contributed to making Vancouver a nuclear free zone. He also joined the West Vancouver Seniors' Hiking Club, and over the next fifteen years he climbed many mountains within a day's reach of Vancouver. He delivered Meals on Wheels, and he canvassed for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Kidney Foundation. Rich and Lenora travelled often, visiting Scotland, England, Turkey, Japan, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Haida Gwaii, the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and Newfoundland. He loved chamber music and amateur theatre, had weakness for chocolate, and a legendary taste for maple syrup.
Rich, family was the most important component of his life. He planned interesting summer camping trips every year, and the family explored southern BC, travelling primarily on back roads, and visiting remote areas. He was a kind and generous man with a quiet sense of humour. He was a loving father who patiently helped with homework, enjoyed philosophical discussions, encouraged his children's interests and pursuits, and who caught us as we leaped into his arms when he walked in the door after a day at work. He loved his grandchildren, each of whom felt special because of his patience, his warmth, his interest, and his unassuming support. He was a good man.
family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of 4 East and 5 East at Lions Gate Hospital for their kindness and care.
lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the charities that Rich supported: Project Ploughshares, and Save the Children.
