Richard POIRIER

Dear Pat and family, I am truly sorry for the loss of your beloved husband and father. I may have met Rick at the ATA, I just can't recall. What I do remember Pat, is that you always talked about your beloved Rick and I could tell that he was the love of your life. I just found this sad story on Facebook, so I apologize if my condolence and message of sympathy upsets you. Please know you are in my heart and my prayers.

My prayers and thought are with you, Eleanor and family during the sad time. May time heal some of the pain and hurt and bring peace to you all.

I just heard of the news today, and am very sadden of the lost of a good person/friend..my heart goes out to Eleanor, Tony, Camille, Pat and the kids. He is resting and not in pain anymore. It is a very very SAD day for me.

Pat and kids, so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love Donna (Galaxy Child Care, I looked after Alex and Adam.)

To the Poirier Family,

I am so sorry to hear the passing of Rick. Words cannot express how sad I feel for your loss. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May the Good Lord bless and keep you and your family and may the comfort of family and friends help you through this very deep time of sorrow!

Rick and I were good friends during our youth. I was introduced to Rick through his cousin, Dean Sarnecki. Because we lived only 5 houses apart, we did a lot of activities together: football and baseball in the park, road hockey in our alley, mini sticks in his basement. Sadly, time and life takes each of us in different directions but these are still cherished memories for me. To Eleanor... the pain you must be feeling at losing one of your children is beyond my comprehension. Know that you and your family have woven a piece of yourselves into my heart. To Pat, Alex and Adam, my thoughts and prayers are with each of you as I offer my sincerest and heartfelt condolences.

Pat, Kids and Eleanor.
We are so sorry and deeply saddened for your loss. Last month we had the opportunity to spend one hour with Rick
up at the lake. He was upbeat and positive. We laughed and cried together.
Our deepest sympathy
