Richard “Rick” John Nowak passed away peacefully at the age of 60 years.
He will be missed dearly by his wife Dorothy and friends.
Rick grew up in Montreal, QC. He graduated from high school, then went to college and completed a diploma in Business Management. After business college, however, he decided to follow a different path. He embarked on a career in the trade of furniture restoration and repair. After completing his apprenticeship he moved to Vancouver, BC and started working for The Brick as a furniture repair technician, where he remained employed for 25yrs. He also started his own shop and business repairing and restoring furniture. He especially loved to restore antique furniture and breathe new life into these beautiful pieces. He was highly regarded at one time as one of the best technicians in this specialized occupation.
Aside from his employment endeavors, he had many recreational hobbies and passions. He loved hockey, motorcycle riding, camping, fishing, hunting, and traveling. He played hockey throughout high school, college, and for recreation well into his 30’s (one of his dearest possessions were his hockey skates). He was also passionate about watching NHL and his favorite team was The Canucks (although I think he was secretly a Montreal Canadiens fan haha). He loved his motorcycle; a vintage Virago 1000 which he rebuilt (twice), and he took long motorcycle trips solo across Canada, as well as down to California and Miami. He also joined a group of riders and they rode on trips all throughout BC and AB. He loved the outdoors, camping and he went on many hunting and camping trips all throughout BC. He travelled all throughout the U.S. as well as Australia and New Zealand and had many wild adventures and stories to tell.
Rick enjoyed life and loved to make people laugh. He especially loved to prank his friends (in a good-natured way); if he pranked you it meant he liked you and you were one of his good friends. He was always very kind, good natured and fun to be around. He also loved animals, especially dogs and he had one very special dog, Angel, who he loved dearly and would still get a tear in his eye looking at her picture years after she passed.
Graveside service will be held at 11:30 am Saturday, May 13, 2023 at Maple Ridge Cemetery at 21404 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge, BC
