Obituary of Richard John Stret
It is with heavy hearts that the family sadly announce the passing of Richard John “Ricky” Stret on August 8th 2022, surrounded by family at the Princess Margaret Hospital in his 49th year. Ricky leaves behind his cherished mother, Janina and late father Nick (2002); loving son Quintin; siblings, Stan, Maria (Alan) Arsenault, Irene (Marcel) Pharand, Robert (Kamila) Stret; loving nephew and best friend Matthew, nieces Rachel, Caroline, Emily and Isabella. Many aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends who loved Ricky and family members in Poland will miss him terribly. Ricky had a smile that lit up when he walked into a room, his strength and courage was exemplified through his courageous battle with cancer. He was funny, always joking, and a great person to be around when you need a friend, right up until the end. He was an encouraging man to be around, a great role model for his family that he cared deeply for. Fishing with his brothers, sporting and being outdoors was his passion that was reflected when he made the move to Calgary 20 years ago to follow his dreams and become a Power Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry. The family wishes to extend their gratitude for the support and great care for Ricky by all the nurses and staff at the Princess Margaret Hospital. Please consider making a donation in honour of Ricky to the Pancreatic Cancer Research Foundation at Princess Margaret Hospital. In keeping with his wishes, funeral arrangements have been entrusted with GEORGE DARTE FUNERAL HOME, 585 Carlton St., St. Catharines. The family invite guests for a time of visitation on Thursday, August 11th from 2-4PM and 6-8PM with vigil prayers beginning at 6PM. A Funeral Mass will be held Friday, August 12th 2022 at 11:00AM located at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church 5 Oblate St., St. Catharines. A Burial will take place following the mass at Victoria Lawn Cemetery.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Richard
