Rick was a true friend he will be missed. He was blessed to have a loving wife and a loving family.
Judy, I hope you are doing well as this is a hard time for all of us. Our thoughts are of you and the kids.
I do not have to tell you what good friends we were going back to college as well as the J.C. s.
over the years I have thought of Rick and remember the good old days at the little brown jug.
To say he will be missed is not much but it is true, I could not have had a better friend than Rick.
Being so far away it is hard to handle this, however if there is anything Kathy and I can do please let us know.
Please try to remember that Rick is now pain free, and walking with God.
God speed
Rich
Judy, I hope you are surrounded by friends and family during this time. May you have opportunities to celebrate Rick’s life and the memories you two made together.
I had the opportunity to work with Rick at O’Brien Kreitzberg was a good friend and colleague.
My heart and thoughts are with you and your family.
