Rick Bardsley, 74, of Girard, passed away on November 19, 2025. He was born on May 21, 1951, in Erie, the son of the late Melvin Joseph and Bernita Ruth (Bateman) Bardsley.
Rick was proudly self-employed and had a lifelong passion for racing classic cars, a hobby that brought him immense joy. He cherished the camaraderie of fellow car enthusiasts and loved sharing a good joke. He will be remembered for his dedication to family, his entrepreneurial spirit, and his perpetual pursuit of the next project.
He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Arlene; his sons, Michael and Kyle (Kristina); and his two cherished granddaughters, Alison and Claire. The memorial was private at the convenience of the family.
