Richard Holditch

Holditch, Richard "Ricky" ~ after a long and courageous battle with colon cancer, Ricky took his final journey on Monday, February 28, 2011 at 1:15 p.m., at the St. Catharines General Hospital, surrounded by family and friends. He has gone to be united with his mom, Janice (2006), grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and all those loved ones gone before. He will be remembered as a loving and devoted son to Richard and Yvonne. A special baby brother to Tammie (Lee) and a very special stepbrother to Tammy (Dave), Phil (Shawna) and Dan (Laura). Loving uncle to Tyler, Alex and Karlee. Also survived by companion Stephanie, family friend Pete, best friend Andrew and all of his West Hill boys, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmom and granddad. Ricky was an avid fisherman and Texas Holdem Poker player and his passion for cooking was enjoyed by all. He was a selfless loving and caring person and even through his battle he still placed family and friends first in his life. He had a great sense of humour and could make friends easily, and was always trying to be everyone's protector even up to his last days. Ricky will be greatly missed by all who loved him. Special thank you to Dr. Levesque, the Nursing staff and Oncology staff on the Palliative Care Floor and an extra special thank you to support worker, Donna Cook.
