Our fondest condolances to April, Auntie Monie, Christine and Pam. I have many memories of our younger years together for summer vacations at Grandma and Grandpa's cabin and home. He always made me laugh. Can't believe you're gone, you're just a few months younger than me. So this makes me realize that you need to live life to the fullest today. He lived by that philosophy. - Posted by: Colin & Ev (Evie Elder) Lawson (cousin) on: Mar 11, 2014

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Rick and at such an early age. I taught Rick at Morden Collegiate back in the early '80s. I remember him so well with his light blonde hair and big infectious smile. My condolences to his wife and all the family at this very sad time. Linda Butler. - Posted by: Linda Butler (Teacher) on: Jan 16, 2014

It has been brought to my attention that I somehow forgot to name his sister Christine as being left to mourn for him. I am deeply sorry for the omission. Four of us proofread the obituary and we all missed it. Christine, you were held deeply in his heart and once again, I am truly sorry. - Posted by: April Neufeld (Spouse) on: Jan 12, 2014

Uncle Rick was a good friend and wonderful uncle. I will miss him every day and am sad that he is now gone so suddenly. I am glad he got to spend his last days with us/his family at Christmas. I will miss his kindness, hugs, love and heart when I should be with him or any day. He was dearly loved and still is. I/we will miss him and won't forget him. We will always miss and love him and never forget the last smiling treasured moments with him. - Posted by: Tia Bowcott (Uncle) on: Jan 10, 2014

I remember a lot of good times and laughs as kids years ago and finally got back in touch with Rick on Facebook the last year or so, he was always a caring, gentle guy that would do anything for his friends. He will be sadly missed. - Posted by: Ryan Cappelle (Cousin) on: Jan 05, 2014

We send our sympathies to the family as you go through this difficult time. There are no words that will take the pain away or make any of this easier.

I have many fond and cherished memories of time shared with my cousin. Snowmobiling in the winter time, or riding motorcycle in the summer time. Still recall the story of the time the snowmobile took off without him on it and almost crashed into the blue house. Working at the theatre together, running the film projector. Knowing Rick, and if he is anything like his dad or mine (Bill), I am sure he is tinkering on something in God's workshop, or fixing something somebody broke again. Heartfelt condolences and sympathies on behalf of the William J. Neufeld family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Stanley J. Neufeld (Cousin) on: Jan 04, 2014

Met Rick in the early 90's. Shared many a beer and a good country song with him. Never met a kinder guy, am shocked he is gone, but I can say for sure, God took a great man when he tapped Rick on the shoulder. I will miss him greatly, especially the gentle bear hugs, and his laugh. For his family, my heart goes out to you all, to lose such a wonderful person, I cannot imagine the depth of your loss. My deepest sympathy. - Posted by: Samantha Wall (friend) on: Jan 04, 2014
