I truly loved this man, I will see u in the next life ߒ‹.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Rick was always a good guy. Rest In Peace. Connie
Our youngest brother RIP until we meet again.
My best memories of Rick are from many Thanksgiving days spent at his mother’s house. Discussing the football game, enjoying a traditional Thanksgiving feast and playing euchre with family. For several years I thought Rick had to be the luckiest card player I’d ever seen. After a while, I realized he really was just that good. He was extremely intelligent and talented in all he did.

Here are a few. More to come ❤️
