Rick was an amazing guy to work with. Super kind, patient and I learned a lot from him during my time as a Tool & Die Maker. I am very sad to learn of his passing. He will certainly be missed by many.

Extending our sincere condolences to Rick's Family. Over 50 years of being neighbours on our block . . . we came to know Rick often having a roadside visit on several of his many very regular trips to the farm to see his folks. He is remembered by us as a warm and friendly guy who's heart was deeply rooted in his family and home.
To Deanie, Gwen, Kevin, Karen and The Malott and Fraser Families we are sending thoughts and prayers that you may be blessed with strength, comfort and peace in the lifetime of treasured and wonderful memories of your dear one.
Warm Regards
Fred, Cheryl and Family

He will be sorely missed by all who knew him and greatly missed by his family. He is now at peace and our thoughts & prayers are with you all at this sad time,
Sincerely Ed & Kathy Cikatricis

To Cousin Gwen and family, I was sorry to learn of the passing of your beloved husband Rick. Though distance has kept us apart for many years, preventing visiting and staying up-to-date on life's challenges and adventures, I remember vividly our last visit, and chatting with the two of you in your home at the time of my Mother's passing. She held both of you in such high regard. Although we haven't seen each other for such a long time I still hold onto memories of happier times together from days gone by. You and each of your loved ones will miss Rick dearly and my thoughts are with all of you as you grieve. Rick was thought of fondly by everyone in 'our' family; known to us as a "nice guy"; a quiet and caring husband, understanding and loving father; faithful provider, and true family man. It's obvious from your posted photos that he was a terrific Grandfather as well. How blessed you were to share his life and love. He was a man of many fine attributes. Our Mother and Dad were always so happy and proud of you and Rick and your little clan. Please accept my sincerest sympathies at this time of great loss and sorrow. May it bring you comfort to know that Rick is at peace forevermore. Holy Scripture tells us: "blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted". My sincere prayer for YOU at this time and in the days ahead is that God's Spirit will help you find solace and strength to carry you through..
With much love and fond memories,
"jan"

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Rick. He was a very kind guy who loved his family and life in general.
Rick always made time to come to visit his Mom and have a little chat with anyone he would meet coming into or out of the apartment building. He will be missed so much by all of his family and friends.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult and sad time.

My Grandpa was and is the most kind hearted soul you could ever meet. He always put others before himself, especially his family and friends. He did an amazing job at being both my father and grandfather. Growing up, he gave both my sister and I memories that will last a life time. Even though he is gone, I will never say goodbye.. Only see you later alligator. I love you with all my heart Gpa.

My sincerest condolences to Gwen and Family on Rick's untimely passing.
Rick and I grew up just down the road from each other, and were great friends during our public and high school years. We rode the concession roads on bicycle, horseback, the family pickup trucks (which took quite a pounding at times), and eventually, even our own cars (Rick had a really neat Pontiac - and a truly scary Oldsmobile 440).
Rick and I had a great "chin-wag" at my Aunt Cheryl Clark's place last spring - it was really great catching up and reminiscing.
Best wishes to all, and again my deepest sympathies. Rick left us way too soon.
