Richard “Rick” Mooney of Calgary, AB, formerly of Sherwood Park, AB, passed away on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at the age of 70 years.

Rick was born in Edmonton, AB, on April 27, 1954. He and his family moved to Sherwood Park in 1966 where he attended Sherwood Heights Junior High School. He graduated from Salisbury High School in 1972 and pursued a Drafting degree at NAIT.

Rick started his career in the oilfield supply business in Edmonton, moved to Vernon, BC, and then relocated to Calgary to pursue his career in the international oilfield supply business.
