Dear Kathy and girls, I am so sorry to hear of Rick's passing. I too knew him from Habitat. He was one of the kindest, caring and easy going guys I have ever met. When he talked about his girls, his face would light up. On one of our "friends" workdays, he was there along with all the others from Habitat to help me replace floors, install a cabinet and plant grass. I will always be thankful for his kindness to others and myself. I will keep you in my prayers and Rick will truly be missed by many. God Bless. Terri Neundorfer

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. As my Godson and Nephew I watched Rick grow into an outstanding family man and community citizen. Some of my fondest memories of Rick were getting to travel to Tulsa with my parents to visit after he was born. Mary Ann and Al were so proud of their first Grandson.

I have known Rick for many years through Habitat for Humanity of South Fulton. I always thought of him as one of the most-easy going, laid back and helpful guys I have ever met. He always had a smile on his face and was a pleasure to be around.

He will be missed dearly by his "Habitat family" and all those he helped build a house for with his unending generosity and willingness to give a helping hand.

I send my sympathies to his entire family and will be praying for them.

Ricky was my very first nephew when I was only six. We haven't seen other much once we grew up and went our separate ways but I always knew what was going on with him from his mom. I am truly saddened by his death, too early, too young. God Bless You, Rick!
