So sad it was always nice to laugh and enjoy stories from Montreal about football and he always remembered all the names of the football players that we knew. We loved to go out for a smoked meat sandwich with boys. You have are heart felt condolences. Alan Hardy and Carol

While Rick & I worked for Hensley we became good friends & working associates, our fun jabing & joking with each other never stopped. When he became ill with his lung issue, I was selected to take over his Canadian customers, we traveled together for a short time and it was a Blast each day. I was heart broken then when he was no longer going to work with us, and I am heart broken now for your loss as well as all of our loss. GODS BLESSINGS & HEALING for you all !!

Gayle , I am so sorry for you and your families loss. He was a dear friend and is will miss him. I remember one sales meeting many many years ago, we all went to Terry Noto's house for a get together and Terry started to show us his toys. Well, he wheeled out this 94' Harley and Rick commences to set on it and asked Terry, "Let's fire it up!" Rich familiar with Harley's hit the starter and off he went! I thought Terry was going to crap his pants. He came back in about 15 minutes and we all had a laugh except Noto!! "Dick Black" will always be one of the "Good Guys" in my book! With much love,

Sincere condolences to the White family. I certainly have fond memories of Rick especially at sales meetings. Always a character. i remember one year we ended up at a biker bar after playing golf and Rick calling a biker "Buckwheat". Consequently this didnt go down well but we managed to difuse the situation.

RIP Rick

I recall traveling with Rick years ago in Alberta .We went to visit his #1 dealer in Edmonton.

As he’s driving , he kept looking around - confused.

He would say “ I think this is the right way ; looks familiar “ . I said to him , “ they’re your biggest dealer and you don’t know where their office is ?? “

He smiled at me as we pulled into their parking lot .

Such a great sense of humor - Love you Rick

Enjoy heaven my friend

Rick buddy you will be truly missed by a lot of people .Been talking to a lot of friends and there all saying the same thing. you were just a good guy. the good thing is we were able to talk about the good times .So like i said you will be missed

Gayle i was so sorry and shocked to hear about Ricks passing. He was a very good friend i knew for years. I meet Rick through work while he worked with Hensley and became a good friend. One my fondest memories was of him was when we got together in Vancouver as he wanted to golf every month but hadn’t golf in January yet. You see Rick was an avid golfer and loved the game before his lung problems. Anyways i was going to be in Vancouver at beginning of January so i made arrangements to book a game at Northview in Surrey. We started to play and the weather turned extremely nasty dropping to 3 degrees and wind came up along with a great amount of rain. After nine hole i looked at Rick and said maybe we should pack it in but nope he was determined to finish the round. Walking up the 18 th fairway i was so happy to see the warm club house as i was freezing and could barely feel most parts my body but we made it. When we got in the guy at the proshop said the person running the restaurant wanted to see us so we wandered up to the restaurant where couple of hot rum toties were sitting at a table. The guy came over said he was just about to close the restaurant but looked up and saw a couple idiots coming down the 18 th fairway so he put together a hot drink as he thought we could really use it. Ricks determination to complete the 18 th holes was a character trait that followed him though life to never give up. It served him well during his lung transplants. I will never forget you buddy,I will miss you so

It is a great loss with the passing of Rick. Tony and I have known him most of our lives and have wonderful memories of him. From high school dances, football, many times sharing a meal and very excited conversations on hockey and football, watching football will never be the same. He was always positive and loved life and would keep you talking and laughing for hours. He was a proud husband and father and we will always be proud to call him our friend. We will miss him greatly. Love Lori (Baldo) and Tony Coculuzzi

Rick had an open and blunt honesty. Once after a business trip was requested by a VIP customer and scheduled, upper management questioned the specifics of the meeting. This particular VP asked Rick publicly to explain what were the 4Ws and 1H associated with the trip. Rick responded that this trip had been set up with everyone’s involvement, tickets purchased, rooms rented and so on. Rick White then asks, “And by the way, what is 4Ws and 1H anyway….motor oil?” Oh man, this was just one of many famous RW moments. What a sense of humor, what a great man, what a great friend. He would do anything for you. Love you bud! You will always be missed and always be remembered. Love and healing peace to Gayle and the whole family.

Gayle - Rick was such a great guy. I enjoyed working with him the years he was part of the Hensley Industries Sales Team. My heart goes out to you and your family.

In my prayers.
