Obituary
MAIURI, Rick Rose – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Rick, with his loving family by his side, at the Greater Niagara General Hospital on Sunday July 14, 2024 at the age of 64. Beloved husband and best friend of 37 years to Rosa (nee DiRamio). Devoted father of Melanie (Mike) Snow, Jake (Julia) Maiuri and loving Papa of Miller, Madden. Cherished brother of Fred (Theresa) Maiuri, Lita (Gene) Artista and brother-in-law of Allen (Edith) DiRamio, Maria (Ernie) Nemett. Loving uncle of Alicia (JB), Lucas, Halle, Michael (Jackie), Preston (Carol) and Trevor (Jocelyn). Rick will be greatly missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins, great-nieces, great-nephews and friends. He is predeceased by his parents Bernardo and Elvira (nee Simone) Maiuri, in-laws Mario and Nancy (DiRamio) and nephew Ryan Nemett. Rick was known to the community as Rick Rose the musician, but at home, he was the man who always put his family first and made memories that will last a lifetime. He looked forward to the kids coming over to play a board game, or a round of trivia (which he always won). His favorite time, was sitting in the backyard with Rosa by the fire, listening to one of the many music playlists he put together. Rick was active in the music industry for more than 40 years, including most recent owning and operating the Niagara Institute of Music and Arts. Throughout the years, he had songs on over 20 albums, some charting in Canadian Radio’s Top 40. He wrote the theme song for the film ‘Rude Awakening’, and wrote ‘Dreaming Out Loud’ for Doc Walker, a two time Juno Award nominee. He has shared the stage with Eddie Money, Billy Ray Cyrus, Three Dog Night, and Barbra Mandrell. He was a staff songwriter for Sony Music in Nashville and Warner Tamerlane. Many will remember the good times had watching a few of his bands, starting with Lennox, then Perfect Affair, and most recently The Rick Rose Band. Babe, we want to thank you for the Greatest Train Ride… The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff at the Walker Family Cancer Centre, the St. Catharines General Hospital and the Greater Niagara General Hospital. All are invited to join the family at the PATTERSON FUNERAL HOME, 6062 Main St. Niagara Falls, visiting Thursday July 18, 2024 from 5 to 9 pm and Friday July 19, 2024 from 1 to 4 pm and 7 to 9 pm.
