About Rick: Rick, a devote Catholic, had an enduring relationship with God, and was very blessed in his faith to his dying breath. The Sugar Cane Reserve Community was the pivotal essence of Rick's life. He was proud and honoured to be an elder, patriarch, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He has been a major influence in the lives of untold numbers of First Nations Peoples, throughout British Columbia and beyond for many decades. Rick loved music. Mostly ole country and played fiddle and guitar to entertain friends and family. "This gentle, loving, caring, kind, and talented man has left a permanent mark etched on our hearts and will be supremely missed by all who knew him. Rick was a humble man, who never focused much on himself but rather focused on the needs of his family, his friends, and his community; and who, even in his final days with us, only asked, "Just take care of beloved anna when I'm gone". Rick's life was well lived, and he was well loved! We can hear our good GOD's words to him, on the day of his entrance into Eternity, "Well done My good and faithful servant... Enter into the joy of your Master!" more... less...
