Posted on: Tuesday, May 23, 2023It was so nice to reconnect with Rick on Facebook after years of disconnect after leaving Toronto. Rick abd Rob we’re dear family friends and I can never forget that epic camping trip to the Nottawasaga River in my mum’s new VW beetle with Rick Driving (the only one with a license) and the rest of us tucked into that thing around all the camping gear. Many happy memories of Rick as a gentle presence in our home. Rest In Peace my friend.
