I'm very sorry to hear of Rick's passing. I remember him from the time I was at the weekend school. I recall we were on a rowing trip together. He was such a kind-hearted, good-natured boy, and I'm sure he remained so throughout his adult years.

Sorry for your loss. Rick was our auditor for many years and we enjoyed working with him.

So very sorry for your loss Marianne and Family. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

Memories of Rick...seeing him play the penny whistle in performance with Simpson's Folly, seeing him play catch with his "nephew" (my son) Aidan on our front lawn, meeting for lunch in Spain, and being entertained with his array of accents, impersonations, anecdotes and limericks over many a fun dinner for 4 with Rick and Marianne and my husband and me. ❤️ Although Rick's life was cut short by illness, I will take some comfort in knowing that he lived a full life, he loved and was loved, and he was well-traveled. Cheers my friend!

Ring the bells that still can ring,
Forget your perfect offering,
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in.

We will always remember sharing a glass of Rosé in the backyard sun. Thanks my friend, for sharing some of your favorite limericks:

A wonderful bird is the pelican,

His bill holds more than his belican.

He can take in his beak,

Enough food for a week,

But I'm damned if I see how the helican.

An amoeba named Max and his brother,

Were sharing a drink with each other;

In the midst of their quaffing,

They split themselves laughing,

And each of them now is a mother.

I have known Rick personally and professionally since 1990. A great friend who also as a consultant helped me professionally. Laura,Aidan and I were very close to Rick and Marianne. Aidan regarded Rick and Marianne as his aunt and uncle. Our deepest sympathy to and Marianne and her family for their loss.

Our deepest condolences to Marianne and her family. We are thinking of you during this difficult time.

I have fond memories of Rick during our time together as members of Simpson's Folly in the early 1990s. My condolences to all his family and friends.

Very sorry to hear about Uncle Rick's passing. As one of his youngest nieces, I have cherished memories of visiting him and his family at the farm. I will always remember his voice singing and telling stories very fondly.

Our deepest condolences to Marianne and family.

Sad news to hear of Rick's death. He was a few years younger but I remember him well from the first year of the day school (62/63). I can certainly see the likeness to his father in the photo. Condolences to the family.

Our deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one. I remember meeting Rick many years ago when he came to Ottawa to visit my late parents, Betty and David Wiens. Always wonderful for me to meet my cousins, I might add.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember visits to Rick's at the farm to visit Mara, Alaric and Xenia with great fondness. As a child I always felt close to my uncle Rick and his family and look back at that time with very happy memories.

Very sorry for your loss. Rick was a very dear younger brother and friend in our early years. I'm glad he made others happy in his recent years.
