Special Uncle Ricky to many nieces and nephews.
Rick was an avid NASCAR fan, loved to tinker in the garage and above all was a devoted family man. He provided for his family while dedicating his career as a service man at the City of Board of works for 30 years. He will be remembered dearly for his sense of humour and strong work ethic that he instilled in his children.
In lieu of flowers or donations, we ask that you take a moment to hug your loved ones and spend precious time with them.
As per Ricky’s wishes, he has gone to “the shake and bake” and a Celebration of Life will be held on Monday March 13, 2023 at the Grand Gardens North from 5 pm to 8 pm.
