Not sure what to say?

My sincerest condolences to Heather, Jaxon and Pat. I already miss the visits that we had, reminiscing about the good ol' days of past, baseball, State Farm, Target Rehab, cards, tennis/squash, other sports, and baseball. It seems like only yesterday we were booking a court for a tennis or squash game, my how time and life fly by.
I will truly miss you Ric.

I go back with Ric to my Toronto Star days in the 70's. We worked in different departments but when we saw each other it was baseball talk. He was always happy to see you!
I coached a Midget Rep team in Newmarket in 76 and 77. I remeber Ric bringing up his team which were older than my guys so we could practise against a stronger team.
An all around nice guy! Thanks Ric.
You were always in my thoughts throughout the years in conversations with other people.God Bless!

There are nothing but great memories watching and learning from Ric Fleury. He always had time to make sure I had ground balls and batting practice and even inserted me into the line up for the all star game in the senior league when i was only 12. It was with those Leaside teams in the 70's that gave me the passion to play baseball and the opportunity to play for the team in the 80's with my father and Ric and with their guidance was able to pursue baseball to a further degree.

Our heartfelt sympathy to the Flurey family. We go back a long time...at Runnymede Collegiate and with Leaside Baseball team by way of brother-in-law John(Sam)Leonard. The Lombard Family

Fond memories of Ric from years ago at Humbercrest will keep your fun-loving spirit in our thoughts. Sincere regrets to the Fleury Family.

My sincere sympathies to the Fleury family. It's been many years since I played baseball for Ric at Leaside, but there was never any doubt that he was the heart and soul of our team. I was proud to be part of his extended baseball family.

Ric was truly an inspiration to all that knew him. I was aware of how fiercely proud he was of his little brother Dave and it shone brightly during his master of ceremonies at Dave & Debs wedding of which I was best man. The title of best man though was just that - a title as it was Rick who truly was the best man. Fiercely competitive in all aspects of gaming....I could never trump him in a game of gin.

sorry for your loss. thoughts are with you and patrick during this difficult time.

Ric was a part of my early life as a teenager and young adult as I hung around with his younger brother Dave, and friends Henry and Frank. Ric introduced us to music (I will always remember Cat Stevens), took us to ball games, played tennis with us, took us for ice cream. Truly a big brother not only to Dave but the rest of us. I know Dave always looked up to Richard. The tennis rivalry was always a hoot! He will be missed by all. Jim
