Richard "Rick" Bruce Selmanovic

Rick was born in Winnipeg on April 1,1956. He moved to Ontario in 1984 to study Television Arts and settled in Toronto where he worked in the film industry - a job he enjoyed and continued working casually until shortly before his passing.

Rick always enjoyed sports, starting early on the school soccer field and hockey rinks. He was also a huge fan of music and kept a comprehensive library of his favorite classic music of the day.

His talent for archiving, along with his strong family values, fueled his passion for his extensive collection of family photos and video. He was particularly proud of some of his edited video projects of family and his travels.

Rick loved spending time at the beach, either in Ontario, Manitoba or on his frequent trips to Cuba.

Rick’s death was preceded by his dad, Bruce, in 2017, and mother, Carmeline, in 2023. He is survived by his three brothers, Randy, Rob and Barry, sister-in-law, Lucille, and niece, Jordan. He will be missed for his good humour, kind heart and gentle spirit.

Rick will be laid to rest back in Winnipeg that was always his home in his heart. There will be a private family service held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice.
