To all of Rick's family,
My dad called me last night with the news. I'm sorry I didn't know sooner, because I would have been there today. Rick and I were close buds from when he first moved into the neighborhood in 5th grade through high school. We spent many an evening watching TV and shooting pool in his mom's basement. We enjoyed sports together and bombing around in his mom's little green Chevy. Many GCAs were consumed and laughs shared.
I used to call Rick on his birthday sometimes, but we hadn't seen one another in close to thirty years. I'm filled with sadness, but I smile when I remember those great days.
My sincere condolences to all of Rick's family.

Andrea & Kenny; so sorry to hear about your dad. Just over a month ago I found myself in the same position. I'll be thinking about you guys. Take care of each other.

It's been many years since I've seen Rick. He was my children's(Mandy and Greg) beloved Uncle Rick. I can always remember his dry sense of humor, his willingness to help and he was always a hard worker. But as so often happens, families split apart ane we all move on, leaving behind the ones we thought so much of. I've thought of Rick many times over the years, remembering back to a different life. I send my sicere sympathy to Jane, Andrea and Kenny and to his mother, they were always so close. And sympathy to all of his family and friends.You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
Love,
Don and Germaine Stewart and
Joe Parisi
