Anyone who knew Rick was touched by him. He had special, and unique relationships with each and every one of them. You knew he truly cared about you in both his words and actions. His presence will be missed by family and friends, and the community at large.
In the words of his wife. My childhood friend, my soulmate, and my love stepped over to heaven this morning. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So thankful we have journeyed this life together. I love you!
