RICHARD (RICK) BRIAN RICE March 11, 1945 - September 7, 2016 It is with great sadness that the Rice family announces the passing of Richard (Rick) Brian Rice at the age of 71 on September 7, 2016 at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was predeceased by his parents Jack and Marion Rice. He is survived by his two sons Brodie, Kyle, and their mother Linda-Lou Rice; his three brothers Larry (Caroline), Ken (Janice), Don (Susan), and many nieces and nephews. He is also remembered by his lifelong friends Peter and Shelley Herbert, Don Goodridge, Dal McCloy, Wayne Alsip and Malcom Braithwaite. He was comforted in the last years of his life by his friends in Winnipeg, Peggy, Mike and Ron. Rick grew up in Winnipeg, spending many summers at the family cottage in Victoria Beach, Manitoba. After many business endeavors in Winnipeg with friends and family, his work as an HVAC technician brought him to the Rocky Mountains of Canmore, Alberta, where he had a family and enjoyed fishing and boating with his boys. He also spent time on Vancouver Island with his girlfriend Maggie before coming back to Winnipeg where he lived until his passing. Dad always had great stories of the good times had with friends like sailing from Clear Water Bay in their handmade trimaran sail boat and ice boating on Ghost Lake. Rick requested not to have any formal service so we ask all to remember him in their own way. Special thanks to all the friends and family that have helped Rick over the years and to the staff of the Grace Hospital for helping him in his times of need.
