Dr Chris Haves posted a condolence
Rick was very important in my career as a veterinarian, first as a role model visiting my family farm and then later as a mentor when I rode around to farms with him in high school. Basically, I went off to university hoping to be Dr Rick Longfield someday. His sense of humour stands out the most to me as it probably does to most! My condolences to the family.

Linda Mills posted a condolence
My heart was very saddened to learn of Rick's passing. We always loved to see his truck pull into our laneway for vet calls. You were guaranteed to hear his witty banter and cracking of jokes.....while trying to help the animal in need. . But he also became a friend over the years . His heart was kind and generous. He would often travel to the farm with a vet student in tow....which was indicative of his kind nature and teaching ways. Sue....I only seen you and Rick a few weeks ago and he mentioned he had some health stuff going on. I never realized that he would be gone so soon. You and your family have our deepest sympathy as you learn to live life without him by your side. Keeping your close in our thoughts and prayers Linda Mills, Jeff & Erin , Mandy & Rob, Melissa and Jamie

Connie & Dave (DC’s Diner) posted a condolence
Sue, What can we say, I guess there was a reason we saw you and Rick at the Christmas dinner in Stratford - it was so we could give Rick one last hug and a hand shake good-bye. Dave and I and our kids, send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family. We are so sorry we did not get back to St. Marys for that visit we promised. Rick had a heart of gold.....I mean who snowblows his new neighbour’s driveway before he even meets them?! And then, takes care of their pets while they’re on vacation! We will always appreciate everything he and you have done for us during the time we lived next door to each other. Sue, you have my phone number, please call anytime if you would like to chat. Big hugs! Connie, Dave, Kyle, Courtney & Brock

Tracee Atlin posted a condolence
I am so sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. He was an amazing man. He was kind and funny. The first time I encountered Rick was on a stormy night in downtown St. Marys. I was almost 9 months pregnant and I fell down on the slippery street. Suddenly, there was a man at my side on this desserted street asking me if I was okay. He lifted me to standing position, like I weighted absolutely nothing (large animal vets are strong). I then saw that his truck was stopped in the middle of downtown Queen St. He had seen me fall, put the truck in park and run to help me. I enjoyed joking with Rick at the clinic for many years, but I will alway remember how quick he was to come to a stranger’s aid that night I locked myself out of my house on that stormy night. I am so sorry for your loss. Tracee Atlin
