Me and Rick go back a ways. Remembering Rick not just as a ship buddy but a true friend. Rick would be the first person there when in need of help or assistance. It wasn’t long ago we spoke and remembered old times, We kept in touch over the years. I am devastated to hear his passing. … great man ..great husband… and a great father to Emma. I cannot imagine their sorrow .. no words can ease their pain. But know that my deepest condolences and huge hugs are upon you Amanda and Emma.

From Andrew Robertson and mother Gerd at 1418 Belcher St., Port Williams NS Andrew as friend, ship Engineering crew-mate and fellow Skydiver.
Our heartfelt condolences from Andrew and Gerd at Rick's passing. We are deeply saddened beyond words. Our thoughts and prayers to you, Amanda and Emma. Andrew met Amanda and Emma at your lovely Greenland Road home when Emma was very young. We ask how we may be of comfort and assistance in any way. Rick came to Scotland with Andrew in 2005 and was celebrated as The Canadian skydiver for the 45th Anniversary of Scottish Parachute Club founded by my father Dr Charles A. Robertson. Strathallan castle DZ, Perthshire may have been Rick's last ever jump and it was unremarkable and uneventful. No tale to tell except for some polite applause as Good ol' Rick landed neatly and bundled up his canopy. In appreciation I even bought Rick a Guinness at the Auchterarder pub. "ONE beer? That's IT?" When next we meet we'll share another. Blue Skies my friend.

Rick and I jumped together at A.S.S. And he joined us for some surf kayaking fun on occasion as well. My #1 favorite skydive was with Rick and Ralph. The 3 of us hopped onto the last load of the day, just to air out. We had no expectations other than to get a jump in. But Nature treated us to 5000' thick cumulus clouds, colored like cotton candy in the setting sun. We left the aircraft, the 3 of us hanging onto each other, smiling and yelling as we fell toward the clouds at high speed, and punched through the yellow, pink, orange puffy pillow clouds. Inside the clouds was white, just white nothingness. A void. All we could see is each other for 5000'... then we punched out the bottom of the cloud and the sun was setting burgandy over the bay of fundy. It was the most surreal beautiful experience. Thank you Rick for being there with me and sharing this moment in time. Rest in Peace my friend. I pray for love and healing for your loved ones. Especially your wife and daughter.

I knew Rick through skydiving. He was always a super positive power there. Lots of laughs and Great times shared. He left the drop zone and we kept in touch. We were in recent communication, the day before he moved to Digby hospital. I was shocked to hear of this. My sincere condolences to family and friends. He was far to young to be leaving here. I will miss him. Much Love Rick.

Amanda and Emma,
I am so sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. He was a great person. I spent many an evening while I was living in Greenland up at Rick’s. He was such an interesting guy to talk to. I’m sure he was a great husband and dad as well.
Take care
Scott
