Joseph Ricardo SampsonSTEPHENSRick, of Tregurra, Truro, passed away peacefully on Sunday, 18th December, 2022. Aged 82 years. Beloved husband of 60 years to Margaret (née Jacka), truly the love of his life. Cherished father to Peter (Dee), Andrew (Kathy), Mark (Nadine), and Jonathan (Kirsten).

Dear brother to Edwyna (Roger) and Charles (deceased) (Christine). Born and raised in Truro, to the late Ronald and Anne (née Williams) Stephens. Rick apprenticed as a Singer sewing machine technician and held many jobs throughout his working life, always choosing to be outdoors when possible.

The funeral service will take place on Tuesday, 10th January, at 11am, in the Trelawny Chapel, Penmount Crematorium. The Stephens' family send heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses and care staff of the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust, for the loving care that Rick received over the last few months.

Dearest Margaret and Sons-
Peter, Andrew, Mark and Jonathan,
Please accept my deepest sympathy upon the passing of your wonderful husband and father, Ricardo. Ricardo was an indomitable man of wit, artistic giftedness, and insightfulness. Ricardo’s infectious smile, his pleasant outlook and his faithfulness in life was always encouraging. My deceased husband, Arthur, and I always looked forward his cheerful company. Ricardo was an extraordinary person. I will miss him very, very much.
With loving memories,
Renate

We go through life meeting many people but very few leave an impression like Rick has in my life. I am truly blessed and honoured to have had you in my life for over 20 years as a friend, mentor and shipmate, you taught me so much. We've had so many great adventures together and made so many memories I'll treasure for the rest of my life. I will truly miss you my old friend so RIP shipmate until we sail together again. God bless you Rick.

Dear Mr. Stephens was always full of life and had a smile for everyone. I have fond memories of first meeting him and the Stephens family when Mark and Nadine wed in 1997. Peace to the family.

May you rest in eternal peace Uncle
