I just wanted to say a few words about Rick, since I spent more than half my life with him...
He was a very strong person. He helped me get through a lot of tough times in my life.
He was a hard worker, dependable and loyal. He rarely took time off from work, he liked his job and the people he worked with. He carried himself with much pride.
He had lots to be proud of, but the thing he was most proud of, are his children and his three granddaughters! Rick was very dedicated to them all. Family was very important to him. Which is why I believe that Rick and I were able to remain friends even after our marriage ended. He told me I would always be his BEST friend SORRY Mike!! Lol
Seriously though, I will miss his friendship, his dry sense of humor and most of all his grace. He firmly believed in God and I know he is in Heaven. Rest In Peace. Love you Rick!
