It is with profound sadness that we announce Rick’s passing on January 16th, 2013 at his Brantford home with his family by his side. Rick was in his 70th year. Beloved husband and soulmate of Marjorie (nee Hahn) for 47 years. Devoted father of Michael and Susan (Sean Holly). Adored and loved by his grandson Noah Richard Holly. He is survived and lovingly remembered by his mother Mollie (Burlington), his sister Betty Russelo (Burlington) & his brother Donald (Kitchener) and loyal companion Mollie, the precious family dog. Predeceased by his father George and brother Robert. He is survived by many nieces, nephews and their families. He is also survived by cherished friend Diane Gimmer. Rick & his two brothers Don and Bob owned and operated a family business, Mohawk Pontiac Buick in Brantford for 27 years, until retirement. For those of us who loved him, our loss is unimaginable, but a life with so much love goes on forever in the hearts of those who remember. Respecting Rick’s wishes, cremation has already taken place and a private family service has been held. Those wishing to donate in Rick’s memory are asked to consider the Stedman Community Hospice, Brantford

Marjorie and family. We cannot tell you how deeply sorry that we are to hear about the sudden passing of Rick. We live in the home that he built and if it brings you any comfort at all please know that there is not a day that goes by that we do not adore 5 Meadowood and the joy and peace that it brings us. There is still a lot of all of you here. Our thoughts are with all of you at this very difficult and sad time.
