"Friendly Rick" loved God, his family and countless friends. Rick loved the outdoors and wildlife. He was an avid woodsman who cut endless cords of wood for his own home and many customers. He was the enthusiastic fire officiant at any gathering. Rick was a Manitoba Hydro retiree, league bowler, action movie lover, swimmer/body-surfer, and donated his time to many charities. Rick was a die-hard fan of hockey and football. He loved to do crosswords and play games, especially cards. He loved riding his motorcycle every chance he got. Rick had a great sense of humour and always had a smile.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at Shiloh Chapel at 38 Beulah Lane, Durham, Maine 04222 on Sunday, November 28 at 2:00 p.m. where Rick will be laid to rest. A live stream of the service will be available.

Deepest sympathy to Fran and family. I enjoyed working with Rick immensely and appreciated his friendly personality, big smile and passion for his family and in his working days his recycling efforts, lottery ticket collecting and hockey pools. My Dad always got such a kick out of Rick with his hockey pools! He will be missed. RIP Rick. - Posted by: Sandy Bacon ((Former co-worker)) on: Nov 21, 2021
