Rick was a great man. My family and I owe him alot. He was there for me in my time of need and I could never thank him enough. It hurts knowing he is no longer with us in the physical form but his presence and influence will always be with us. I always thought of him as my role model and inspiration to be more and do more.I will never meet another person like you Rick rest well we love you

Rick and I became friends at a young age. Our times together included high school, living together, and working together. He attended my wedding as I did his. I was saddened and shocked when I heard of his passing, I feel as if a part of me was gone. His drive and determination never ceased to amaze me. I wish the years and miles had not separated us

Rick is a person that I thought of. Thought of? I remember him as taking care of his mother. And, while they came into Steamer's to have dinner, I learned to take care of HER! I was living with my father who has now passed. But, Rick was doing what pretty much no one does these days. Taking care of your elderly parent or family. He showed CLASS and RESPECT to his mother. Very OLD SCHOOL!

I will finish with that I will never think that could have happened to him! Just a disbelief gone true!
