September 28, 1954 – December 20, 2025
With great sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Rick in Winnipeg, MB. Rick was predeceased by his parents Irwin and Rhoda, brothers Terry, Lorne and Wayne, brother-in-law Ron, and nieces Stacey and Colleen. He is survived by his best friend and wife Kathy, her daughter Sherise (Chris) and her son Steven, his son Terry (Tamara), grandchildren Olivia, Greyson and Emerson, sisters Linda and Shannon and sisters-in-law Artelle, Janice and Rose along with many nephews, nieces and cousins.
Rick was born in Rivers, MB and moved to Winnipeg in 1956. Rick grew up and attended school in Transcona. Rick worked in the auto parts industry for most of his life, although one of his early jobs was delivering pizza for Dal’s using their company supplied VW beetle. Once in the automotive industry he would play softball with a company softball team and would spend hours playing catch with his only son Terry. Rick enjoyed talking cars. He made several attempts at starting some restoration projects over the years, including a 1951 Mercury M100, a Mercury Monterey convertible and a 1981 Olds Cutlass. He taught Terry the basics of automative repair and helped him see some of his projects through to completion. Rick retired from the auto parts industry in 2024. In retirement he would spend his days relaxing in his favorite robe watching all the latest releases with Kathy and making her laugh with his incredible sense of humor and quick wit.
Those who knew Rick know he hated being fussed over. As per his wishes cremation has taken place and a service will not be offered.
