Rick was a great person and family man. He will be very much missed.
Prayers to you and the entire family.
Rick, you are my big brother
Rick, you are my big brother and my heart is broken now that you are gone. Even though we did not see each other all the time, I loved talking to you on the phone and hearing your voice and knowing you were always there for me. I have 3 voice messages that I saved from you. One was letting me know about Sophia, your newest granddaughter being born in December, one was from last May wishing me Happy Birthday and one was to check on Dave and I when we had a stomach virus. You always cared about your family and was so proud of your wife, children and grandchildren! I promise I will keep in touch with them and keep your memory alive. When I did see you, you would give me a big hug that made me feel safe especially since Mom and Dad died. I just figured that you, Patty and I would grow old together. I know you are in heaven with Mom and Dad and you are all taking care of each other but I was not ready to lose you. You and I are a lot alike so.I feel like a patt of my heart is gone. Until I see you again, Rick, I love you! Linda
