Loving Husband of Ida Rickards and loving Father of Damian Rickards. He left us suddenly on Thursday, November 24, 2011. He was our mentor, our hero, our rock and our strength.

Memorial service will take place at Leaside Presbyterian Church (670 Eglinton Ave. East) on Thursday, December 1st at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation.
Colin Rickards was more than that to us. He was a personal friend, a founder and board member of this organization. He was an adviser to us in all things pertaining to TTEW and all things pertaining to each of us in out personal lives.
As Mortimer has always said; "You can only take with you what you brought with you, but you can leave something, make sure people miss you when you are gone".
Colin WILL BE MISSED!
