Condolences for the family of “KINGSLAND: Richard John”
Brother Kingsland and I shared many many times at the negotiation table with the City of Kitchener.You always knew when Rick was in the room. He had a certain flair and style that only Rick could convey.Rick also served many positions with IBEW 636 locally and with the Provincial Executive Board in Mississauga.One particular memory that I will share ,Rick and I were at a Gas conference in Palm Springs and it was so hot and humid at that time but he still wanted to go golfing in the 100 degree heat– we did and could hardly keep the clubs in our hands as we were sweating profusely!!! Sometimes the clubs went further then the golf ball !! Rest in peace Brother, you will be missed but not forgotten.
Deepest condolences to Andrea and family.
Very sorry to hear of this . Rick worked with us at Richmond and was an awesome guy . He went hard at work ! My deepest sympathy . So sorry .
Andrea & family, so very sorry to hear of Rick passing away.
I got to know Rick at Kitchener Utilities. I was a dispatcher and Rick was a gas service technician.
On the coldest winter day, there could be over 50 “no heat” calls due to furnace break downs. I was totally confident all the calls would get done if I had Rick on shift, working with me. His work was precise, professional and top notch. And he was quick.
Rick had a certain verbal “flair” on the radio. I miss his “sighs”.
I have not seen Rick since his retirement from Kitchener Utilities, but he holds a special place in my heart.
I am sorry to hear of his death.
Rest in peace, Rick.
Worked with Rick for many years have a lot of fond memories of our working career, it’s unfortunate Rick passed at a young age. My condolences to the family.
