Clarence Richard Sisson
June 13th, 2013
The family of Clarence Richard Sisson are saddened to announce his sudden passing from cardiac complications, on June 13th, 2013 at the age of 53. Rick was born in Espanola, Ontario on June 29th, 1959. Rick will be sadly missed by his mother, Sharon (John) Sisson of Airdrie, AB; his father, Fred (Bonnie) Sisson of Kingston, Ontario; his sister, Debbie (Greg) Flood of Kingston Ontario; his brother, Tim (Ingrid) Sisson-Kerrigan of Oakville, Ontario; his sister, Beth (Brent) Bowerman of Calgary, AB and his brother, Chris (Fawn) Sisson of Calgary, AB as well as many nieces and nephews.
When Rick was a boy he loved to play in the woods and would often bring “critters” home with him. On one occasion he had a box full of garter snakes and when the box tipped over he was eagerly picking them up and stuffing them into his pants pockets so that they wouldn’t get away. Rick was an honest, hard working man and had a long career as a concrete cutter. He loved to fish and would spend many hours out in his boat enjoying nature. He also loved t-bone steaks and a good cup of tea. A Celebration of his Life was attended by his immediate family and dear friend Shirley on June 18th, 2013.
If you choose, a donation may be made in Rick’s name to ‘Potential Place’ 1130-10th Ave. SW, Calgary, AB, T2R 0B6 (403)216-9250. This was an organization that helped Rick. He had a huge heart and will be missed by us all.

When I think of Rick, one thing comes to mind, his huge heart. He was the type of man that would give you his shirt off of his back. I have a few fond memories of him, wish I was able to create many more. Life is so precious, the passing of Rick makes you realize how important it is to spend your time with the ones you love. You will be missed everyday by us all.
I didn't have many opportunities to get to know Uncle Rick, and any that I did have were as a child. However, there is one memory that persists, and that is his kindheartedness. Rick always treated me like his next of kin. His passing is a stark reminder of life's fragility. Condolences to all of those who knew and loved the man.
I want to express my sadness for the Sisson family. Death is so final, but memories live forever. With love from Brent's Mom, Joyce
