PICTOU - Richard Carl Dunbrack, 72 of Pictou, passed away peacefully in the Palliative Care Unit of the Aberdeen Hospital surrounded by love and family.
Born in Dartmouth, NS, he was a son of the late Louise (Sidebottom) and Carl Dunbrack
As a young man, Rick served in the Navy before moving to Toronto where he met the love of his life, Julie. They settled in Pictou in 1971 when he began work at Michelin Tire. Together they raised two children and enjoyed their grandchildren.
They ran a handcraft business, aptly named "The Two of Us" for 10 years, and officially retired in 1999. The last years gave him much joy spending time with friends and family, taking on home renovations and projects, and making sure his family was well cared for.
He is survived by his best friend - his wife, Julie (Doucet) of 45 years; daughter, Sherry (Graham) Baillie, Scotsburn; son, Terry, Pictou; grandchildren: Daniel, Alex, and Emi-lou Baillie, and Ryan Dunbrack; brother, Stewart, New Minas; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers: Roy, Don, and Neil; niece, Barbara (John) Power, and nephew, Dave Dunbrack.
Family will receive visitors 7-9 p.m. on Thursday in McLaren Funeral Home, Pictou, with funeral service at Stella Maris Catholic Church on Friday at 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations in Rick's name to the Palliative Care Society of the Aberdeen Hospital or to Brain Cancer Research.
Rick will be forever missed and cherished.
