Rick, I remember the first time I ever met you, at times it seems like yesterday and yet when I count the years it’s it’s been 40 incredible years. Thank you for seeing me through the the good years and the bad. Friends are family we choose. I love you.
Gonna miss you, my friend.
My dear friend Rick, it says here you were the consummate Handyman… and that is the TRUTH! You did so many projects for me and for that I am so very grateful, not just because of the great work you did, but mostly because that’s how we became such great friends! I already knew you as a wonderful singer from karaoke, but it was my pleasure to get to know you as a wonderful man. I will always remember and cherish the great talks we had at lunch over pizza, HiBoy, or homemade biscuits and gravy! I am so sorry that you had to go through such suffering in your last days on earth, but I am grateful that you are suffering no longer, healthy and whole, and singing with the angels now. I will miss you terribly my friend. Love, Sally
