Wilbur Jack Ricord

Tribute
RICORD – Jack (Wilbur) Ricord, beloved husband of Ottolene, and beloved father to Kyle and Kadon Ricord passed away peacefully at his residence in Duncan, BC on June 14th, 2010 at 65 years. Jack was born in Delhart, TX, March 25, 1945 and is survived by his two brothers, Mike and David Ricord, and loving sister, Linda Hoffman. Jack’s sense of humour and positive attitude was present in his courageous battle with cancer and few can remember him without smiling. His personable nature was endeared by clients, managers, and his colleagues of BBM Nielsen as well as friends and family. As a father, he was a constant support in such pursuits as concerts, sports and recreation for his children, and was a loving and caring husband for 42 years. For those saddened by his loss, Jack has rejoined his much loved and much missed daughter, Chandra, who passed away August 1997. His strength and conviction in losing a daughter, and those suffering an equal loss, was impassioned by the support of his grief group formed at the Rocky Mountain Hospital (Calgary), and also a book to be published in her memory. He is also predeceased by his parents Wilbur and Grace Ricord, brother Lee Ricord, mother in law Maxine Gast, and niece Theresa Schile.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated in St. Edward’s Church, 2085 Maple Bay Road, Duncan BC on Thursday June 17, 2010 at 3:30 p.m. Reverend Father Frank Franz celebrant. Online condolences may be offered at www.hwwallacecbc.com

From: Shawna & John Cordara
Relation: Niece of Jack
We remember when we were checking out the U of A, and you guys took us in for a night. Jack kept us up that night laughing at some of his stories and he made us scrambled eggs for breakfast! We talked later, about what a nice man he was to go to so much trouble for us. When Shawna was a child Jack would always make her laugh, she particularly loved that he would let her watch him lather up his face and shave. When Shawna was in the hospital, after the birth of our third child, Ottolene came to visit and found her sleeping. Ottolene didn’t wake her, but when Shawna woke the nurses told her of the woman who came to sit next to her and left a note in her shoe. Such a gentle consideration has to be a statement about the love that binds the Ricords together. We’re grateful to know all of you! We tried to get to BC for the memorial service, but it was held on our son’s birthday. We have been planning to attend the service in Alberta, unfortunately it has been scheduled when we are out of the province. Please know that we love you and pray for your comfort.
