    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.

    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
