Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryRICHARD WAYNE MONKMAN It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of a great man, Richard Wayne Monkman. Rick fought hard, as he always did, and ended his courageous battle with pancreatic cancer in the arms of his loving wife and his children by his side at 2:40 a.m. on May 9, 2012. Rick leaves to mourn, his wife of 45 years, Linda, who stayed by his side every moment of his life right through to his last breath. He will be sadly missed by his children Tim, Corinne, Bonnie (Sean) and Tiffany and his grand-children Brittany, Matthew, Kyle and Kurtis and his other kids Dave and Debbie. He also leaves his father, Ronald, and sisters Nalda and Trudy along with many other family members who loved him very much. Rick was predeceased by his mother, Mary. Rick was an amazing man who was always smiling, telling jokes and making friends everywhere he went. Every person who had the pleasure of knowing him will agree that his laughter was infectious and his words genuine. He spent his life working hard to give his family everything and never complained about doing it. He was determined to make a better life for his family, so he started Monkman Transport with one truck and worked relentlessly to create a successful business. His get away from it all was out at the cottage with his family where he happily puttered, went quad riding, threw horseshoes, shared many laughs and enjoyed the occasional Labatt's Lite. A celebration of Rick's life will be held at Green Acres Funeral Home and Cemetery, Hwy 1 East and Navin Road on Monday, May 14, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. Interment to follow in Green Acres Cemetery.

Rick was a very good friend. Shared many cups of coffee and many laughs with him. We also went to some auctions together. He was always willing to lend a hand. Our sincere condolences. - Posted by: Abe Hiebert (Friend) on: May 15, 2012

Rick was a fun guy to be around. In our years of trucking together we had many, many laughs. He always had a good story to pass on. We never got to see a lot of each other in our later years, when we should have had the time. You rest in peace my friend. You will be sadly missed by all who knew you. Deepest condolences to the family. - Posted by: Jack Ryan (Friend and fellow trucker) on: May 13, 2012

Tipped a beer or 2 with Rick at the Canadiana back in the 80's 90's and sold him a few truck parts, always joking around and making people laugh, never forget the day he told me the "PENGUIN" joke, I still use in my own repertoire today. So sorry to hear of your loss - Posted by: ken turner (former acquaintance) on: May 12, 2012

Rick and I were pretty good friends back in our early days at Grand Marais and Grand Beach. Although we only connected a couple of times in later years, he had a personality that kept me remembering him. Rest in peace chum. - Posted by: Rick Rach (Friend) on: May 11, 2012
