RICHARD CHARLES BROADHEAD

March 19, 1943 March 18, 2023

Rick passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Rick was the beloved husband to Violet for almost 57 years; loving father to Rick and Kristin (Lionel); proud “Bub” to his grandchildren, Graydon, Foster, and Hadley and a good friend to many. Rick was predeceased by his parents, Richard and Lillian. Rick had a long career as a respected marketing and merchandising executive, including positions at Mac’s Convenience Stores and The UCS Group (United Cigar Stores). Rick possessed a keen intellect and was an avid reader, aquarium hobbyist, lover of music and an accomplished athlete. Rick was a passionate sports fan; he loved watching football, baseball, golf, basketball, and tennis-an enthusiasm he shared with his family. Rick also enjoyed spending time outdoors-one of his favourite places was his backyard oasis and pond. A celebration of life in memory of Rick will be held at a future date.

To honour his love of sport, donations may be made to MLSE Foundation in memory of Rick Broadhead (mlsefoundation.org/ donations/ one- time- donation), an organization dedicated to changing young lives “through the spirit and power of sport”. Rick, you will be in our hearts forever. Never to be forgotten.
