I am so sorry Moe - I am thinking of you everyday...I will never forget watching your wedding video at your cottage and how beautiful you and Rick were together. Love you, Kath xo

Moe, Ty and Luke: My family and I are so very sorry for your loss. Rick will be missed. Love Mandi

It looks like the weather is going to prevent Hugh & I coming from Barrie & Orangeville to the funeral tomorrow. I am so sorry that we will not be there in person to bid farewell to our good friend, Rick. My heart goes out to you Maureen and your family and to Roger, Carey & Tracy. We may not be there with you physically but we will be there in spirit with you tomorrow at 1:00 PM. My condolences to you all in absentia. Dave

Maureen: My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

I first met Rick in 1977 at my first NBFA convention. We met at a hospitality suite of a supplier and seemed to click. Over the years we travelled the world on various industry related trips and enjoyed each other's company. As the years went by, we both became part of a fellowship we called the OFC - seven industry related pals who met for dinner regularly for over 20 years, having our last get together just this past October at one of our favourite restaurants, Zorro's, in Mississauga. Rick was more than a friend to me, he became an important part of my life and I will miss him very much. My sincerest condolences to Maureen who gave him much happiness. And my best wishes to his family. Sincerely: Hugh & Joan Maksylewich Orangeville, ON

We are going to miss Rick very much! Rick and I have been friends for 30 years!!! We worked together at Moore for 5 years in Barrie & Sudbury. He was the guy that inspired me to go out on my own and gave some tips on how to get started. Things looked pretty bleak after 12 months so Rick came to see me. He offered me a job with him and Dianne & I decided to “sleep on it” over the XMAS holidays. In January, things turned around and I decided to remain independent. I probably would have done as well or better with Rick because he had a natural acumen for operating a business and was a superb salesman. He was also a people person, and had an uncanny foresight to see what one needed before they could realize themselves what was good for them. He was always supportive throughout the years and I tapped into his experience on many occasions. I will miss his stories and his sense of humour!!! Dave Brenneman

Dearst Maureen and Famly, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will never forget Rick and yourself being so extra ordinary to my Robyn. Thank you so much. Rich will surely be missed by everyone. I*n Gods Love Anna

Dear Carrie, Tracy and Roger I was very shocked to see the notice of your Dad's passing in the paper. I remember him as a man with a great sense of humour who cared about you kids very much. Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. It seems harder to take at this time of year . My own father passed away a week before Christmas so I understand how hard it is to face all of the "happy" stuff going on around you. Take comfort in all of the great memories you have of times spent with Rick. With Love Elaine Gallagher

Moe, We send our sincere condolences to you and your family. We are very sorry for your loss and hope you can find the strength you need, through family and friends, at this difficult time. We are thinking of you and know you are in our prayers. Love ya lots, Sharon and Mike

Maureen, Luke, Ty, Carrie, Roger and Tracy My family and I wish to express our sincere condolences on the loss of Rick. Moe, I know he was the love of your life. My heart breaks for you. He was a good man. I know he will be well remembered and certainly missed a ton! xoxo

For Rick's Children: We are so sorry for your loss. Even though we had not seen Rick for many years we remember the wonderful memories that our families shared. Our prayers are with you .

I am truly sorry to hear of Rick's passing. I will always remember him as a person of great business acumen, a superb teacher who could give you a picture of a situation that would open your eyes and challenge your brain to be more creative. He was enormously helpful to me when I was starting my own business back in 1983 and taught me a great deal when we would get together for the NBFA conventions and CBFDA meetings. He was often the one who stood up to present the new innovative idea that we eagerly ingested as his listeners. In recent times, a group of us (retirees from the business printed products industry) have shared a meal a couple of times a year and Rick would always be there together with his dry wit and good conversation. I know that Maureen give him a youthful happy exuberance in the last few years - he thought the world of her. Our dinners will now have a missing person at the table - we have lost a true friend but his legacy will live on. My sincere condolences to the family on Rick's untimely passing. David Edwards

I first met Rick while we were at a seminar in Tampa, Florida in 2010 and he quickly became "my big brother from Canada". His jokes and stories made long road trips enjoyable, and until the end he had that little boy curiosity to see new places and learn new things. Plus, the man knew the words to nearly every song on Sirius Radios' 50's on 5 station (most people couldn't have done that back in the day, let alone 50 years later). I still haven't figured out how he regularly would send me US political news and jokes before anyone in the states had the scoop. Rick would never let on that he was anything all that special, but the reality of it was the opposite. He was a success in business and in life, was a great friend to this "foreigner" and is greatly missed. The picture at the top of this page of Rick and Sammy on the boat going to the cottage is fitting as Rick often spoke of his love of the simplicity, and peacefulness he felt there....great to remember him in that light. To Mo and family and to Rick's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Steve Smith - Poland, OH.

Roger - Paul and I are so sorry to hear of the death of your Dad. We are thinking of you at this difficult time.

There is nothing I can write that will take away the hurt, but to Mo and your family, and to Rick's family, my thoughts and sympathies are with you. I am honoured to have known Rick, and grateful for the time and friendship that you both shared with me when I needed it, and I hope you have the same support that you have given others.

Our sincere condolences to Maureen and Rick's whole family on his passing! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I was sorry to learn of Rick's passing. We were both active in the 70's & 80's in the CBFA where I first met Rick. I Although I have not seen Rick in many years I did enjoy our association together. My sincere condolences to the entire family on this great loss too early in life. Sam Sadegur Atex, Momtreal
