RICHARD (RICK) THOMAS WARDELL
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rick at the age of 74.
Rick is survived by his wife of 52 years, Susan (nee Scott); his brother Greg and sister Linda (Brian) Philpott; and sister-in-law Valerie Scott along with several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews.
Rick grew up in Winnipeg and spent many days and nights playing his favourite game of hockey on the outdoor rinks at Crescentwood Community Club. He was an avid Jets and Bomber fan. He also enjoyed playing golf.
Rick took an early retirement from the Canadian National Railway in 2005 after 33 years starting as a switchman and ending his career as a brakeman, engineer.
Rick spent 14 years as a snowbird in Arizona, taking many trips with Sue and family. He enjoyed going to Hawaii, Mexico, Europe and taking cruises.
As was Rick’s wishes, a private family service will be held.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Manitoba Lung Association or CancerCare Manitoba Foundation or a charity of your choice.

Rick's mother was my father, Fred Bowles youngest sister. Our family's spent much time together when we were younger. As we lived in different areas in Wpg., there came a time when we lost touch with each other for a number of years. But when he and Sue built their home in Husavick and I had a cottage in the Village of Dunnottar, we re-connected and shared a number of visits which we seemed to really enjoy. Recently they moved back to Wpg. Sue, please accept my deepest condolences in Rick's untimely sudden passing. He was a really great and extremely talented hard working individual. I will miss his friendship. Sincerely, Don - Posted by: Don Bowles (cousin) on: Aug 04, 2025
