I am truly sorry to hear of Richard's (Rickadoo's) passing. I just found out and am sorry to have not been able to pay my respects. Even though I haven't seen your family in years, I think of you all often and the fun times we had at your cottage in Carver. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so shocked and saddened by Rich's passing. I've known him since we were teenagers and he made high school, Total Sound, and the community theatre we did fun and memorable for everyone. All of my best memories of that time period include Rich. He also introduced me to my husband and I will be forever grateful for that. My love and sympathies to Rich's family. You all remain in our prayers!
