In loving memory ~
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rick Hodson, a beloved father and grandfather, on April 24. After a courageous and lengthy battle with cancer, he passed away peacefully at home. He will be deeply missed by his loving family and friends. A Celebration of life will be held at the family home from noon and throughout the afternoon of May 17th, 2025. In honour of Rick's love for potlucks, we will be hosting a pig roast, so please bring your best dish and story, but don't forget a lawn chair.
