\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Richard on Saturday, August 23rd, 2025. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beloved son of Henry B. Fiennes-Clinton and Carol P. Stark, brother of Rev. Greg Fiennes-Clinton (Sharon), Shannon Stark (Ricardo), beloved uncle of Kayleigh – and friend to many. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For decades Richard has shared his passion for history, particularly Toronto history, with many. This was chiefly done through his business, Muddy York Walking Tours, but also through his work at City of Toronto Museums, as well as through historical talks given in various other venues. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was the author of Muddy York: A History of Toronto Until 1834 and was working on another book at the time of his passing. As well, he was an accomplished visual artist. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Richard\u2019s passion for history, his sense of humour, and his love for family and friends will be greatly missed by all whose lives he impacted. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
