RICH WIESER September 12, 1968 - June 26, 2013 It is with great sadness and love, that we announce the passing of our beloved Rich, after a hard fought battle with cancer. Left to cherish Rich's memory are his wife Tasha; their two boys, Lochlan and Conrad; mother Kay; father Fred; sister Pam (Dwayne) (Travus and Courtney); Baba Frances Ewacha; mother-in-law Katie; as well as many aunts; uncles and extended family. He was dearly loved by all who knew him. Rich had a way of turning the most harmless comment into the most groan-worthy pun imaginable. This talent was at the same time impressive and exasperating. At least he was able to amuse himself. He lived his short life to the fullest. Rich worked hard and played harder. He enjoyed golfing, hunting, woodworking and camping. But, football was everything! His passion for the game is pretty much imprinted on everything; his truck, golf cart, clothes, and his friends. Rich started his life in Port Arthur, Ontario. This path then led him to Boeing Canada in Winnipeg, where he worked for 15 years. On Wednesday, July 3, 2013 Rich's Funeral Service will be held at 10:30 a.m. in Westwood Community Church, 401 Westwood Drive, Winnipeg, MB. A special thank-you to all who cared for Rich; Grace Cancer Care, Cartier Area Home Care nurses and the Regional Palliative nurses. As well, a special thank-you to all of Rich's "Brothers", Tony, Ian, Ray, Ben, Denis, Gordo, Bruce, and Ric, for taking care of him and his family. We will always and forever be so grateful. In lieu of flowers, you are invited to make a donation in memory of Rich to the charity of choice.

It's a rare man that can keep true to his spirit his entire life and everyone who knew him is better off for it. Rich may be the only man i will ever know who was that. Take comfort everyone who knew him that you were close to a special soul. - Posted by: Tom Kehoe (Friend) on: Jul 06, 2013

Richie made the world, and the people in it, better. I will miss his laughter and positive outlook on life, but most of all I will miss our football rivalry and times spent together during Steeler/Bengals games. Tash and family: you have much to miss, but much to cherish; my condolences. Until next time buddy. - Posted by: Bruce Hamm () on: Jul 02, 2013

I was so very sad to hear this news. Although I hadn't seen him in the 25 years since high school ended. I remember vividly how sweet and funny he was. My condolences to his wife and 2 sons. - Posted by: susan cochrane-mcdougall (friend) on: Jul 01, 2013

Richie, you were a true friend. You welcomed me and Marc into your life. You were always happy and fun loving to the end. You will remain in my thoughts and heart till we meet again. Monday Night football in your hottub will never be the same. Tash, Locker, and Conrad were always your true love. You helped me become a better man. I will miss you. GO STEELERS! - Posted by: Alain Girard (Friend) on: Jul 01, 2013

I am truly saddened to hear about Richard. I remember Richard, Todd and Brent when they were a young trio, getting into mischief. His boyish charm, infectious smile and award winning personality, he never out grew. I was thrilled to see he hadn't changed, when I last saw him at the Hammarskjold reunion several years back. That, I will keep with me forever. My sincere condolences to Richards family and friends. Sincerely, Heather Lynn - Posted by: Heather Lynn Pouru (Hinds) (brother , a friend of Richard) on: Jun 29, 2013
