RICHARD GARY ZEBINSKI
After a lengthy and unexpected illness, Richard Gary Zebinski passed away in Winnipeg on November 15, 2022.
Richard leaves to mourn his wife Ingrid and their two sons, Tyrone and David. He is also survived by his brother Bob and wife Ida Zebinski of Selkirk, MB; sister-in-law Laurel of Benito; sister-in-law Anita and husband Tim Mitchell of Kelowna, BC; brother-in-law Richard and wife Beverly Multins of Regina, SK. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. Richard was predeceased by his parents Mary and Ted and his brother Bill.
Rick was born on December 25, 1951 in Selkirk, Manitoba. He obtained his Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Manitoba in 1973. He enjoyed a very happy 48 years of marriage with Ingrid and he loved his two boys, always helping them in any way he could.
Rick worked in various places throughout his career including: IBM, General Motors, New Flyer Industries and the Province of Manitoba. While working at General Motors, he and his family were transferred to Saskatoon, SK then to Oshawa, ON and Moncton, NB and finally back to Winnipeg. His extensive travel around the world throughout his career covered Europe, the United States, India, South Africa and Asia. He enjoyed meeting people from different cultures and experiencing their food which he parlayed into his love of gourmet cooking. He was an amazingly talented home chef, always making wonderful meals for guests and his family. Rick and his family enjoyed vacations to Hawaii, the Caribbean and Disney World.
Rick was extremely well read and very knowledgeable about world and business affairs; and while he did not necessarily love doing home repairs, he would execute those with speed and efficiency. Rick became very active in his church in his retirement years, assisting in Sunday services until his illness overtook him.
A Funeral Mass will take place at St. Gianna Beretta Molla Roman Catholic Church at 10:00 a.m., Friday, November 25, 2022.
The family thanks the medical staff at the Grace Hospital ICU for the loving and extraordinary care provided to Richard. Thank you Father Darrin for providing such gentle support to my family and myself. It was very much appreciated.
Should you wish, donations can be sent to the Kidney Foundation of Canada-Manitoba Branch, or to a charity of your choice.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May He Rest In Peace.

My deepest condolences to Ingrid, Tyrone and David. I have lived next door to Rick and Ingrid for 22 years. I'm going to miss our summertime chats, as we have done as neighbours over the years and seeing Rick outside on his front porch, every nice day, reading, and enjoying his and Ingrid's beautifully decorated zen garden. I chuckle when I remember the time my kids, and other neighbour kids on our street built a huge snow fort in your front yard on top of your garden, Rick was always so kind and patient to us all! He will be deeply missed. - Posted by: Raquelle Lafond (neighbour) on: Nov 23, 2022

I worked very closely with Rick his entire career at New Flyer as his assistant. I got to know Ingrid and their two boys through the many company events. Rick was a clever businessman, had amazing vision and was always very professional. Rick was articulate and I will never forget how gracious he was with me in correcting my grammar! Rick was always very businesslike and kept his private life private, but one thing you knew for sure was that Rick loved his family very much! Ingrid, Tyrone and David, he was so proud of you, may your memories comfort you and bring you peace and acceptance. I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Rick.
