Richard Sherneck Obituary

Richard Warren Sherneck October 17, 1949 - July 17, 2014 Rick passed away peacefully in VGH with family at his bedside. Loved and greatly missed by wife Joanie; daughter Kori (Vrenti); son Craig (Jasmine); grandson Jamie; granddaughter Adelyn; sisters Dawn, Debi, their families; sister-in-law Laurie; many incredible friends and other family members. Rick inspired all of us with his amazingly positive attitude during his almost two year battle with AML. The family is grateful for the exceptional medical care received at VGH. Celebration of Life at the Old Mill Boathouse in Port Moody on Monday, July 21, 2014, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Flowers gratefully declined but can be replaced by a random act of kindness to others.

My sincere condolences to Joanie, Kori, Craig and family. Rick will be greatly missed by many. I remember the week we spent at the Olympics, his generosity, welcome and fun spirit. It was a great time, made better by spending it with Rick.
