Rose: So sorry to hear about the passing of Rick. We always remember when you and Rick came to Car Show on Friendship Weekend. A lot of good conversations and memories. Bob and Lynn Whitehead, Simcoe.
I’m so sad at the loss of my baby brother Rick. From the time Rick was born we always had a special bond. He would remind me that one of his scars was when I took him to the park & he ran under a swing & got hit. I carried him all the way home. As we got older & moved away we still kept in touch. I visited him & Rose so many times in Niagara & Rick would take me where I wanted to go, the states, frozen falls, the lights, under the falls & a grand tour directed by Rick. Rick has always supported me in the good times & hard times. Family gatherings will not be the same without him & his smart remarks. Rick I loved you & will miss you very much. Rose, Chris & Joey I send my sincere condolences to you. I’ll still be there for all of you.
We are very sad to hear of Rick’s passing. We were neighbour’s with the Nunns for a number of years on Barbara/Nathan. He always had a smile on his face and shared it with anyone he spoke with. Our deepest condolences to Rose and his family.

Oh Rose I am so sad to hear of the passing of Rick. I have such good memories of hangin with you guys around the pool. He had a great sense of humor and was always a lot of fun to be around. My heart goes out to you and the family at this time. ????
Rose, Joey and Chris, our condolences to you and your families. It was so nice to reconnect with Rick and Rose after meeting them years ago and then losing touch. Rick was always a fun loving guy who spoke highly of his boys.
So saddened when I received the bad news of Uncle Rick’s passing.
Immediately I felt sympathy for Aunt Rose and at the same time, comforted that her children would be there with her for support, love and family.
My first memory of Uncle Rick was when I was around 7 or 8 years old. This had to be around 1968 0r 1969. At a summer vacation cottage on Lake Simcoe, Uncle Rick pulls up on his Harley Davidson, Long red hair and beard wearing a cutoff jean jacket. My brothers and I got to sit on the motorcycle and I think he took us each for a very short ride. I remember thinking “My Uncle Rick is so cool”.
To me, Uncle Rick was always laid-back and relaxed. We have the same since of humour and it made our conversations that more interesting,funny and always it seems to short.
I will miss this at future gatherings. But at the same time, smiling at the memories that I have with him and about him.
My deepest condolences to you all at this very sad time. Rose if there is anything i can do please don’t hesitate to let me know. Rest in peace Rick

To aunt Rose and the Nunn family my deepest condolences for the loss of uncle Rick. I enjoyed talking to him at family gatherings. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Rick worked with my dad many years ago at Quinn truck lines. I also had the pleasure of his company when him and Rosemary would visit us at Ivans and the times Nunner brought him for some great father son time. Rest in peace. You deserve it
