To Rick’s family,
It is with profound sadness that I learned or Rick’s passing, I would like to offer my most sincere and deepest condolences for your loss.
I had the great pleasure and true privilege to work with him in different capacities at the CRA for several years.
Rick was a MAN AMONG MEN! An exceptional person in every way…
He left us all an incredibly positive and significant legacy not only from a career standpoint but most importantly by his example as an outstanding human!
No matter the situation, you knew you could trust and count on Rick to be there for you and do the right thing! His empathy/tenderness/caring, passion, work ethics, deep commitment, and authenticity, are just a few of his amazing qualities and character traits that made him stand out as a respected, beloved, and truly outstanding leader!
I will be forever grateful to him for everything he taught me and did for me/for us all at the CRA and will continue to honor him and his memory by modelling his remarkable legacy at work and in life.
I can’t even begin to imagine the void you feel and how hard it must be…
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
RIP Rick, you will be missed!

my sincere condolences to all Ricks friends and family. He was an incredible person, friend, manager and more. Rick changed my life over a decade ago and was such a pleasant manager and friend. so sad to hear of his passing, such a loss of such an amazing man. We are sending all our love and prayers to all his family and friends. I will never forget that special golfing birthday cake that I had made him due to his love of golf, to see the smile on his face every morning made it worth coming to work everyday. I will never forget his love for "old school" ways at CRA. He was always a paper guy and that is where we first realized we had so much in common. He always had a great smile, a great attitude and always had an open door. I will forever be grateful for all that he has taught me. may he rest in peace.

Dear family of this wonderful man:
I was so sorry to hear of Rick's passing. What an amazing person he was! We both worked for the CRA, and our paths crossed many times. Rick was a voice of reason, kind, funny, likeable, smart, generous with his time and views, and just an all round great guy. He was a memorable man, who made an impact on so many. My sincere condolences to you all on your profound loss.
Best regards, Sue Wormington

À la famille Dennis, je tiens à exprimer mes profondes sympathies pour ce départ précipité de Rick. Quel homme de cœur il a été, j’ai connu Rick au niveau professionnel et personnel lors de nos carrières respectives à l’agence. Sa présence lors de mon départ à la retraite en 2011 du BSF de Québec comme DA recouvrements, témoigne de son engagement envers ses collègues, son organisation et sa sensibilité dans ses rapports humains. Aussi, il était un fier représentant des franco-ontariens.
C’est une triste nouvelle que d’apprendre qu’il a quitté sa conjointe tant aimée, ses filles dont il était si fier, et ses projets à un si jeune âge.
Je conserve de Rick l’image d’un gentleman à tous égards. Veuillez trouvez ci-joint une photo de Rick prise lors de ce souper de retraite.
Encore une fois, toutes mes condoléances.

Rick and I worked very closely together when I joined CRA 25 years ago and this June, it was an unexpected pleasure to share a golf cart and dinner with him. It was wonderful to get a chance to catch up on the girls (how proud he was) and everything else. So sorry, he was a genuinely nice guy.

So sorry for your loss. I first met Rick when he was about 15 or 16 and working in the store on the main floor of the apartment building I lived in, I was 19 or 20 at the time. He never changed over the years. I ran into him many years later when he worked at the Ottawa TSO and I worked at HQ. Once again several years later we ended up working in the same Directorate. Rick was always friendly and engaging. My condolences to the entire families.

I think of him every time I drive by his place, up to a couple days ago. I thought I would stop and say hello if I saw him outside, like we do in our village. I’m sorry to be too late. My condolences to his family. It was a pleasure to meet him at work, and a surprise to find he lived only a few minutes away from me.

Michelle, Dani & Rachelle,
Although we’ve never met, I’ve heard many stories about you all as Rick regaled many during our travels and many suppers. His work ethic was unparalleled, as was his devotion to his family. His easy-going ways were only surpassed by his addiction to cleanliness that I only truly found out when we were roomies in Nassau; and of course his enjoyment of Newfoundland rabbit and moose, that was demanded on each visit or trip.
He challenged people to do their best. I will miss him.
He was a good man, and fun guy.
My truest and deepest condolences on your loss.
Brian & Trudy Murphy

Thank you so much for your kind words and condolences. Rick truly enjoyed working with you and he shared many stories too. All the team in Nassau worked hard but also had good times together (the Clam and the Shack?) - forming wonderful bonds. I have to tell you his code of cleanliness did not apply to his garage and shed, and we had many interesting discussions about that. He was most definitely a good man and I am grateful he was mine for 48 years.
Michele

During these difficult times my thought and prayers are with Rick’s family my deepest condolences to Michele and the girls I will miss my co-worker, friend, and golf buddy.
I had the pleasure of bring Rick into the HQ CRA work environment and it was privilege to work with him and watch him grow. He was committed hard working, and we shared numerous accomplishments.
A man with a profound sense of humour.
Throughout his career he was always supportive of the people around him.
Michele, in these moments when there are no words, know that the one we love remains beside us, now and always he was a remarkable man.
Rest in peace Rick

To Michele and the girls,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time.
I had both the privilege and pleasure of knowing and working with Rick, he was a dedicated public servant who knew how to manage and listen at the same time, which upon occasion could be a challenging thing in an organization as big as we were.
He was kind, empathic and generous with his time and guidance, and had a great sense of humor.
Rest in peace, Rick, you will be missed.

He will be fondly remembered by all those whose lives he has touched deeply. May fond memories of him give you the strength to get through this difficult time. May his soul R.I.P. free of pain and suffering.

With deepest sympathy to Rick’s family. I had the privilege of working with Rick for many years, and was heartbroken to hear of his passing. I will always remember him for his strong leadership, dedication, work ethic, sense of humour, and most importantly, his incredible support of the people lucky enough to work with him. We all knew how much he loved his family and proud he was of his daughters, as he spoke of you almost every day. The world has lost a good man.
