  1. Heard about Rick’s passing today and this makes me so sad! I just saw and spoke with him a couple weeks ago at the bowling alley. I met Rick back in the Sport Bowl days years ago and he was always so nice! Hadn’t seen him in many years and was thrilled when he started subbing at Hi-Way Lanes. My thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.

  2. My deepest sympathies go out to Rick’s family. The unexpectedness of this loss makes it all the more heartbreaking. He was always so nice to me and my family at the fall festival/ family reunions and he will be missed.

  3. Tater, You were definately One of a Kind and have become a dear friend over the years. You will be missed 😢. Forever Hunting in Glorious Heaven, Bag the Big One Baby. Love and Prayes to all you leave behind.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Oh the stories they will tell! 💖
