    I’m so sorry for your loss Mindy,Lon, Marcy, Nathan, Pat, Noah,Ethan, and Anderson. I always enjoyed when Rick was around when we all lived in Sarasota. I always gave him a hard time about anything and everything and he always laughed …even when I wasn’t funny haha! Every holiday that we were together with your family the number one request was that Rick make his baked beans… We all loved them…and they were the best! I have some great memories of those times shared in Sarasota. He was a great guy and I look forward to seeing him again someday…..Hope your mansion is close to mine!
    May God comfort you all during this difficult time.
    Love, Hugs, and prayers,

    To all the family. We just read about Rick in the newspaper — too late to attend the services. So sorry to hear the bad news. Our thoughts and prayers go to all of you.

    My condolences to the entire family, but most especially Rosa Mary and Brother Mike. My heart is sad today because I just heard the bad news about Rick. Memories of years of campfire stories, cooking, hiking and loving the outdoors and most of all the families of our youth. Peace be with you. May God watch over you with his love.
