Could not believe when I read a note........ / Colleen Boyd-Santiago (old friend )
Hello
I was a friend of Ricks from many years ago and looked at a profile tonight on facebook and there was a photo of Rick that someone had posted and it said RIP dear friend and I just sat and was like huh?? So I googled his name and Bridgeport and found this page. I am just speechless.
I am from Twillingate but my late grandparents were Willis and Pearl Boyd from Tizzards Harbour. I used to be there all the time every chance that I got because I loved to be with nan and gramps.
Me Joann Boyd Gordena Forward Wando Jones....we used to all walk up to the gameroom up near the pond and I remember Allan used to have that little white car and tear around in that...it makes me laugh just thinking about it....swimming in the pond playing pool in the gameroom...
All of the dances that we had at the lodge in Tizzards Harbour ...used to be Allan Ricky Brenton Brian Jones Glen Jones Terry Ricky....all of the gang used to come there and we used to have so much fun.
I have lived in the U.S for over 22 years but these were the days and the friends that shaped my life. There was nothing better than our childhoods and the simple fun and laughter that we all shared. I don't get back to Nfld very often but love to go to Tizzards Hbr when I do and just sit on nans front porch and look out over the harbour and think about years ago.
I have no idea what happened to Rick but I wanted his son to know that he was a good guy a fun person a good friend I can't remember him being mean or anything to anyone ....Funny story...I do remember either him or Terry having a shirt that said "When I die I want to be buried upside down so the whole world can kiss my a**" He must have been about 15 or 16 when he had that shirt...I don't know why but I still remember that shirt!!!
His son as well is the spit of him he looks just as how I remember Rick used to look.
I just wanted to share my memories of a dear friend. RIP and I am certain you are an angel looking down on us.
