Condolence: Dear Shelley: My heartfelt sympathy at this time of grief. Condolences to families and friends. Ross B.

Condolence: My thoughts are with the Murphy family- I’m so very sorry for your loss. My connection with Rick was through badminton- in recent years we reconnected at the Ntl Masters events. It was as a junior that I had the privilege to watch Rick excel , winning many provincial and national titles. He was about 4 years older, so I just knew him as a player and be my source of aspiration. He was a gentleman, made fair calls and pushed himself to his limits. I never saw him lose his temper and many juniors did. He really was a strong role model.

Condolence: My sincere sympathies to the family.

Condolence: Grief.... I wish I could say you get used to people dying. But I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don't want it to "not matter". I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can't see. As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive. In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life. Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out. Take it from someone who’s lived through many a wreckage, the waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks. ❌⭕️Shelly, Regan & Colin

Condolence: Dear Shelley, Regan, and Colin-As I read the condolences, I think of your great loss and want to express Graydon's and my deepest sympathy but I also think of how proud you must be of a husband and father who has left such a great legacy-one of integrity, kindness, great sportsmanship and so very much more- Very few men can ever say they truly end their lives well.

Condolence: Dear Shelley and family, When I lived on PEI and involved in Badminton PEI I had occasion to see Rick on the courts at tournaments in the Atlantic Provinces. I especially remember a win over a favoured opponent in NB in a singles game when he kept hitting or lifting a long shot to the back right corner baseline of his opponent's court - his opponent just did not know how to respond. I also remember many well played mixed doubles you and Rick played over the years. Always a gentleman. I am sorry for your loss.
