RICK HORNE 1949 - 2013 Suddenly on or around January 22, Rick Horne passed away peacefully at his home with his cat by his side. Rick was admired and respected by everyone who knew him and he will live in our hearts forever. Rick was predeceased by his mum Edna in 2005 and his dad Les in 2012. He leaves behind his cat Jersey; his sisters Linda (Brian) Gray, and Susan (Dan) Hagen, and brother Bryan Horn; his nephews and nieces Scott, Sean, Jennifer, Sarah, Jessica, Michael, and Kirsten; his great-nephews and niece Kayden, Dylan, Alex, and Taylor; his Aunt Lillian Kay and family in England; his Aunt June and Uncle Carl and their families in Australia; and many friends, including Debbie Dezall, who has been a good friend to Rick and our family for many years. Born in Hull, England, Rick moved to Winnipeg when he was around five years old. He grew up in Windsor Park and later worked at Carlings/Molson Breweries for many years and then at Schneider's/Maple Leaf until he retired about five years ago. In recent years, Rick enjoyed fixing up his house and garden and spending time with family and friends. In the summer, Rick always enjoyed spending time at Grand Beach and on outdoor patios. To celebrate his life, a service will be held on Monday, February 11 at 1:00 p.m. at Prince of Peace Church, 930 Winakwa Rd.; all are welcome. A private family ceremony will take place after at Glenlawn Memorial Gardens, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Rick was an amazing person. She was an amazing uncle to my best friends and my second family. I remember all his funny stories at bbq's and his laughter. I know he will never be forgotten. I am sad that he is gone. <3 - Posted by: Amanda Deighton (Family friend) on: Feb 08, 2013

In all the years I knew Rick I never heard him say a single bad thing about anyone. He was just a real nice person, easygoing and pleasant to talk to always. He loved a good party and I have many fond memories of those parties or concerts attended with those "free" cases of beer when we were younger! I know there will be many others who will miss his smile. My sincere sympathy to all of his family. - Posted by: Dayle (Friend of Rick and the Family) on: Feb 07, 2013

So very sorry to hear of Rick's passing. We were room mates back in the mid 70's. I remember Rick and his Bean Bag chair. He was an easy going guy that was a friend to all. We will miss him at Grand Beach as we had a lot of good times there. My sympathy to his family. - Posted by: Ron Meissner (x room mate and friend) on: Feb 06, 2013

Shocked to read the email I recieved from Rick's brother Bryan informing me of this tragic loss. Rick was always a very open person, with his home, and with his thoughts. He really liked people and being around groups, socializing. I have known him for the past 30 years or so through his brother Bryan and am saddened to hear of his loss. I know he just moved into his new home and was getting settled in, and had retired only a few years ago. My condolences to his entire family and also his cat who will feel his everyday absence strongly. Rick, enjoy life in Heaven as you did on earth, with great passion and surrounded by others. Gone but not forgotten. - Posted by: Tannis Doyle (Friend) on: Feb 03, 2013
