As a heart recipient in 1994, Rick was thankful for his second chance, special thank you to all the doctors and nurses in Sault Ste. Marie and London that helped for all those years.
The family would also like to thank ARCH for their wonderful care of Rick. In keeping with Rick’s wishes, cremation has taken place.
Memorial donations may be made (payable by cheque or online) to ARCH.
