Condolence From: Ric Mackey
Condolence: I knew Rick for a long time. First as my CPR/AED instructor with the fire department and then at the hockey rink as a teammate, Friday nights. Eventually, when he was a paramedic in Lakefield, we would meet often on medical calls.He was a wonderful teacher, an excellent paramedic and a great defenceman. He would welcome your questions, guide you (and everyone) through difficult times and then share a joke.
I'm very sorry I'll miss his celebration, but ironically, I'll be at my mandatory CPR/AED recertification. We will all be thinking of him.
On May 12, I'll be walking in Ricks' name at the Walk for ALS.
My deepest condolences to his family on their loss.

Condolence: I didn't know Rick long but I did like him so much. He was a kind, thoughtful and funny man. I know he was a wonderful father to Kelly and that Brendan lucked out in fathers-in-law. He was also an adoring grandfather to Mikayla and Maddy. I know how you must all be grieving and my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I had the pleasure of knowing Rick through the Selwyn Fire Department and will miss seeing his smiling face and stories every time he came in to either work or just visit us. Rick did all of the Fire Departments First Aid courses so he was around a lot. Rick will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He was a trooper through all of this. RIP Rick.
