Dear Cathy, Leah, Everett and family,

We were saddened to hear of Rick’s passing. You will all be in our prayers so that you have the strength to endure this time of grief. May the time be short before all your thoughts of your husband and father only evoke memories of joy. With deepest sympathy, Anne Marie and Dennis Lauzon

Cathy,

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family. I worked with Rick at TELUS for many years and he was one of a kind! He could find humour in any situation and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. I hope you find peace and strength in remembering good times together.

We’re thinking of you all…often.

Dear Cathy and family…

I was so shocked to hear of Rick’s death, he had such a positive and humorous outlook on life. I worked with him in the training area (at AGT/TELUS) for many years, and we always had great times. I am so sorry for you all, please be kind to yourselves. I know that there are no words to ease your pain…

Cathy,

Luc and I are speechless at the sudden loss of Rick. We found out on Monday after the funeral, and we are sorry we couldn’t attend due to the unfortunate timing.

We enjoyed you and Rick over at our house a few years back, and you and the kids are certainly invited out to the lake for a break, to relax, to talk, or whatever is needed, we are here!

Please feel free to call us anytime! We are deeply sorry at the loss of Rick but we certainly know how much of a loving husband and father he was, a funny guy with a great sense of humour and someone who just loved life.

God Bless you Cathy dear and your children through this very difficult time.

Sincerely,

Edith Dumanowski & Luc Seguin

Everett & Leah,

From the bottom of my heart that I send you both my deepest heartfelt condolences. Your father was the most loving father one could possibly be and loved you both with all his heart as you know. We will all miss him dearly and we will be supporting each other through this. Love always Mom

Kathy, Everett and Leah,

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family, in this difficult time.

I have known Rick now for 8 years both as co-worker at TELUS and through Fish Creek Racquet club. Rick was always pleasant and cheerful and could always be counted on to bring some friends cigars from his Cuba trips. He will be missed by all who knew him. My sincerest condolences are extended to his family.

Rest in Peace Rick!

Cathy, I am so sorry to hear this. Blair sent the obituary through with no explanation. I have been out of the loop myself for sometime with my own health problems and just coming out of it. So I don’t know if this was sudden, was he ill, well, none of that matters. Having been through a very trying couple of years with the rest of my family my heart goes out to you and all your family. You are such nice people. I will attend the services Saturday and in case we don’t get to talk please know that my thoughts are with you at this time. Dammit, I just drove to Lethbridge and back today to attend my unlce’s funeral but he was 81. Again, my thoughts are with you and your family. Huggs and love. David Vine

My dearest Cathy,

Please accept my humble condolence with deep sadness in this time of unimaginable loss. Your patnership together with Rick was an admirable and enviable one, your example together a model. The time spent in your family’s company was certainly always my pleasure. There are many memories of Rick’s indomitable spirit, his humour, fairness and excellent friendship which I will carry along with me. Most sincerly, Rod

Cathy and family

We were shocked and saddened to learn today about Rick’s death. Unfortunately, we will be out of town when the service is being held and so will be unable to attend. Just wanted to drop a note to let you know we are thinking of you and wish peace for you all.

We will talk to you soon. Hugs for all!
