Rick Gibbs

Dundas has lost one of its greats. Warrior falls short of describing Rick, #57, who quietly and peacefully left us on the first full day of spring. He will be forever missed by his wife and rock, Diane, his favourite daughter Rachel, or "Fud" as he called her, and her partner Ryan. Exceptional brother to Gord, Terry, Gary (Wendy), Lance and Wendy. "Uncle Ricky" will always be one of the favourites to his many nieces and nephews. The Langen family will continue to hold a special place for their son and brother-in-law in all their hearts. Rick will always miss supporting his patrons as a proud owner of the Back Shop and Home Health. From his days on Sleepy Hollow, to the extended family he formed atop the hill, he was a treasured friend to many. Rick always had his own unique brand of zest for life. Time spent at the golf course, playing hockey at the Rockton arena or weekends at the family cottage were always days well spent. A special thank-you to all the nurses and doctors who were part of Rick's long and hard fought battle, particularly the palliative team at Joseph Brant Hospital and Dr. Ian Hodson for giving him the gift of time. Memorial donations can be made to the Juravinski Cancer Centre Foundation or the Hamilton-Halton MS Chapter.
