Rick stayed at our house in Sarnia one weekend when I was about 15 and he was 16. We decided to walk up to the YMCA dance which was about 4 miles away in the winter. Three Sarnia boys and one Goderich boy. When we got there Rick was dumbfounded because everybody walked around the outside in a circle around the dancers. A Sarnia thing. He then did something the 3 of us could not believe. He actually asked a girl to dance and he was a good dancer. The 3 of us where too shy to ask a girl to dance. One of my stories about my cousin who I will miss.

So sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. Always a friendly smile and a good laugh Rick will be missed by all who knew him. Rick would visit occasionally with one of his wonderful collector cars and loved talking old collectibles. We would see him at numerous car shows and around town and he would always stop and talk and enjoy your company.
R.I.P. Rick Rompf – thanx for the memories

We have known Rick for years have lots of good memories of Shelter Valley , having drinks with him at Chucks and the Legion. Rick and Bailey would drive the town and stop to talk to you if he saw you. Going to miss his smiling face and seeing Bailey’s head out the window. RIP my Friend
