    Joyce, Paul, Larry, Shawn, Kim... We are so sorry for your loss! Find comfort in knowing Rick is no longer suffering and is finally at peace. He's probably up there arguing with nana right now (haha). In all seriousness, you all now have another angel and he will always be with you! Cherish all the good times! Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time! Love, Lee Ann, John, Bev and Carl xoxoxo

    Dear Ricks family I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I was his neighbor at Curlew Rd. He was an awesome neighbor and friend, very loving and kind. He made me a better person by the way he lived his life. When I moved we went shopping and to the Pancake House, we had a good time. I'll miss him as he had a great heart. My condolences to you all, Love Betsy
