Rick was taken from us suddenly and too soon on January 22, 2012, at the age of 61. Rick is survived by his daughter, Sunita Le Gallou, and his sister, Barbara Paulhus. Rick was born in Saskatchewan but made his home on Salt Spring Island for the last 25 years. He loved the ocean, could name all the constellations, and read countless numbers of books. Love and miss you always, Dad. A memorial service was held at the Sailing Club on Sunday, January 29.
