Who Was Riley Dickson?
Riley Dickson, was a resident of Timmins, Ontario. He had hiked to Machu Picchu in Peru, been in the hot springs in Iceland, visited Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Portugal and of course Amsterdam. In only 28 years he lived out most people’s lifetime bucket list. Riley was known for his intellect and humour, but I was most impressed by the way he fearlessly lived, constantly seeking out new challenges both professionally and personally. He was accepted to begin his Masters at Queens University in September, after which he planned to teach anatomy to the next generation of medical professionals.
