i have still not grasped the reallity that you are gone. it just doesnt seem real at all. i know that you are in a better place. everyone keeps mentioning about you being a dad, grandpa, and friend. what they forget is that you were way more. you were my BROTHER. you were also a son and a husband, but you were my BROTHER. I love you Rick and you will always be in my heart. till we meet again beyond the pearly gates.

Please accept our sincere condolences. May the words quoted from this song bring you a measure of comfort as it did for us.
If a man or woman should die, can they live again?
Hear the promise God has made:
He will call; The dead will answer.
They shall live at his command.
For he will have a longing
For the work of his own hand.
So have faith, and do not wonder,
For our God can make us stand.
And we shall live forever,
As the work of his own hand (Job 14:13-15)

Rick I just cannot believe your gone. I will miss the laughs and talks about the kids and grand kids.I know you did not choose to right now but heaven must have needed you more. We are just lost and beside our self trying to grasp the truth that your gone. You were a good man, father, grandpa, dad and friend to many. There were not a time you did not lift me up with encouragement when I was going through stuff. I loved hearing how much you adored your family but mostly your wife. I love how you bragged on her and how proud you were of her every accomplishment. You too were an awesome guy. You will be missed!! We love you and will always remember you. Now you are healed and no more meds, dr. or appointments. Your totally healed. Show them how to play in the choir Rick...I will see you one day
