With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Richard “Rick” Ainley. He passed away in his home surrounded by family on May 25, 2021 at the age of 74 years. He likely died of happiness after watching the Leafs beat the Habs 2 – 1.
He will be remembered by his wife of 23 years, Gaylene; children Rick and Pam; grandchildren Jocelyn and Rowan, and sister Dianne....
I knew Rick for almost 5 years as a work colleague for the Corps of Commissionaires. He is one of the finest men I have ever known, with a consistently positive attitude, an ironclad work ethic, a smile on his face at all times, and an unshakeable sense of humor to go with it. He is already dearly missed by all who have known him - and knowing him is a missed opportunity for all who were not lucky enough to have it before his time came. Rest in peace Rick. You were dear to us all.
