I can't think of a time I spent with him where he wasn't making me laugh with a story or joke or with a heartfelt jab at Greg. I'll remember him as a good cook, a decent golfer, but mainly I'll remember him as a great human being. All our love to Joanne, Greg, and the whole family.

John and I are thinking of all of you and are deeply saddened at the loss of your precious brother, husband, father and friend. As Nancy Wadleigh's friend and business partner, we had the opportunity to speak many times about her dear brother. May you all hold each other close.

I am deeply saddened by Ricks passing. He is at peace now with his Higher Power which we talked about often lately. He helped me so much in the few short years I've known him and his family. Joanne and Greg are and have been in my prayers every day.
God Bless, Jim Higgins
