He graduated from Tech Voc and worked in the hospitality industry before starting his own business, Winnipeg Value Book. However, most important to Rick was his family. There were many family trips with the girls, often to Detroit Lakes. Puerto Vallarta was where he and Kathy had their winter timeshare. Rick always loved a celebration especially his pool parties and the annual Grey Cup party.
He will stay in our hearts forever.Cremation has taken place and a Funeral Mass will be held at Holy Eucharist Church, with interment at a later date. If so desired a donation may be made to the charity of one’s choice.
