Dear Riebe Family,
We are saddened to hear of Nick's passing and thinking of you all during this difficult time. Nick was a loyal and beautiful friend to us all and we have so many fond memories of him. From travelling with my parents, Dana and Charlie, and weekend dinners and drinks, to shuttling me and his girls around the city for various events, Nick was up for anything and loved being involved in the fun.
I remember our weekly drives to Stadacona in Halifax for our Bronze Cross (?) swimming lessons...Nick often was the chauffeur and made sure we were nourished with our favourite treats following (five alive and a crispy crunch). He was always part of our conversations and added his little jokes and sayings, some of which still ring in my mind ...FORD-found on road dead...). I am quite sure he loved the fact that we were all fixated on Top Gun and joined the air cadets-following in his footsteps somewhat.
Nick always went along with our wild ideas and made me feel so welcome in his home over the years. I absolutely love that he and my parents stayed close friends until the end. We were all fortunate to have him in our lives and he will be missed dearly.
Sending much love to you all, Colleen, Dawn, Margo, Erin and Natasha. Nick's precious girls who filled him with pride.
Love Monica
