I’ll always remember the warmth and joy you brought into every room and moment. Some of my favorite core memories in my life were swimming together in the pool in Winnipeg and playing guitar side by side - the simple moments as a kid that meant so much growing up. You were truly an amazing person, and your kindness and spirit will stay with me forever. Rest easy Uncle Rick, you’ll be deeply missed.

Jean and family

we were very shocked and saddened to hear of Rick's unexpected passing. I can't imagine how lost you must feel. i always enjoyed when he dropped in to the school (often with your little pouch) to say hello. Our thoughts have been with you as you mourn his loss. May knowing that others care for you, help to give you strength to face each new day

our deepest sympathy,

Joycelyn and Bryan and family.

We are so sorry for your loss Jean. We are thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. Sending you our deepest condolences ❤️. Matt and Kim

Hi Jean, I just recently was told of Ricks passing. My heartfelt condolences on your loss.

I’m grateful to have known Rick as a good generous friend. I will always remember him taking me in his car around Winnipeg and especially on a great Red & Assiniboine River boat ride when I last visited. Also around 1971 a snowmobile ride on the frozen Assiniboine River. I really enjoyed both you and Rick in your wonderful home drinking tea while we talked and shared stories the last time I visited.

Jean I know you have much love and support from your family and friends and they will give you comfort and peace during this difficult time. Shine On , Lorne Hanis

Jean , our sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of Rick. Our thoughts are with you . Mike and Joyce Maryk

I have a fond memory of spending time with Rick out in his back shed/ yard while visiting him and the family out west.

I was much younger then, but still remember his kindness and encouragement as he took the time to show me his skills and inspire me as he knew I was learning to play guitar. I can remember studying him as he jammed away. Next song I play will be a tribute to him.

He was a very special guy. Sending all My love to my whole family out west. I am sorry for your loss and so grateful to have known him!

love to all

Rick was a kind and warm soul who was deeply passionate about his family and life’s adventures. I was lucky enough to live in the same complex as him and Jean for a few years. Every morning as I was leaving for work, Rick and I would talk about sports and life. You always made my day.

Much love to you, Rick, and my heartfelt condolences to the family.

Dear Jean & Family,

Rick sounds like a man who is kind, observant, sensitive, thoughtful ,generous with his time, a good communicatorq and connected to those in his world. What a legacy he leaves behind!

My heart goes out to you, Jean. May your personal strength and the love of family and friends support you at this time and the years ahead.

Dearest Jean & family,

I am so saddened to hear of your dear Rick's passing. I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for you and your family.

Sending my love and big hugs until we "lunch" again, with our Dieppe friends.

I am heartbroken to hear this news.

Rick was such a kind, bright, and caring person. We met at work, and he supported me so much during my pregnancy and after. He was always ready to help, always sending me videos about babies — how to care for them, how to handle first foods — and he constantly reminded me that I was a good mom and that I was doing everything right. That meant more to me than he probably knew.

I still remember wishing him a happy birthday and how happy we were to know each other. The very next day, he sent me another video — telling me not to panic when my little one Gags. That was so him — always caring.

I was really hoping he would come visit and see how much Freya has grown. He had only seen her as a tiny baby and admired her so much.

The way he spoke about his grandkids — with such pride and love — was truly special. He was a genuinely warm and thoughtful soul. He will truly be missed.

I grieve with you and your family. Sending you love and strength.

I’ll always remember my Uncle Rick. I loved seeing him enjoy the beautiful oasis he created and spending time with family. I’ll never forget the trails behind his house in Charleswood, where he took us snowmobiling. It was always a highlight of my childhood. He was so careful in everything he did, yet always kind and thoughtful. He was a wonderful person and will be deeply missed ❤️🙏

Dear Jean, I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Rick. He was such a lovely man, and clearly a terrific dad and granddad. My condolences to your entire family. Sending you much love at this sad time..

I'm so sorry for your loss. He was such an easy person to talk to. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My deepest condolences JeN and family. Working with Rick was a joy, and we continued being friends even after we no longer worked together. A sweet, thoughtful anf funny guy. I will miss his FB pictures of his lovely family. Farewell my friend.

History proves character

Rick, honest, caring, empathetic and so very proud to carry the titles of Husband, Father and Grandfather.

from my grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and cousin... they all felt the same about him And not a bad word to be heard.

Rick, we love and respect you more than you will ever know. 🍃🤍🍃

Si sorry to hear about Rick. One of the hardest working people we knew. So many great memories, BEST NEIGHBORHOODS EVER! He will be missed😢.

Carolyn and I extend our most heartfelt condolences to yourself as well as your family. Call of you require anything at all.

Ron and Carolyn Simpson

My sincere condolences 🙏 May the memories of the good times shared console you in your time of grief.

Jean & family....like the Beatles professed in the 60's .... "All you need is Love, love...love ...love is all you need!" What a wonderful life Rick has lived because he was so loved by each of you. We are so sorry for your loss. His thoughtful watchfulness was unique. He never needed to be the the centre of attention. He would have a slight smile and his aura was a quiet calm. whenever we were in his presence, Rick professed his love for family openly in his Facebook posts. That's what mattered to him. An ordinary man who lived an extraordinarily fulfilling life. He leaves a legacy of love in the hearts of all who knew & loved him.

Jean and Family, my heart breaks for you all. Rick was such a kind presence. My best memories are the.times at our cottage and our time at your pool. We sure had fun together! My friend of over 40 years will be missed. Stay strong Jean. Love will carry you through.. ❤️

Dear Jean and family,

Susan and I were shocked when Steve gave us the news. Gone too soon. It is wonderful to read how loved he was and how much he loved his family....the most important things in life. We pray that God

will provide you with comfort, and the strength to carry on. Jean, you are so blessed with a loving family, I know they will help you through these dark days...they will be your sunshine..

With our deepest condolence, and love,
