After several weeks I am still in shock having heard about Ricky. We grew up together on Prospect Road and I have many happy memories of playing kickball and going with the Achuffs to see Ricky play baseball. I am sorry for your loss and pray that God will put his loving arms around you and comfort you. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Rick was a man who, knowingly or not, we all learned a lesson from. He was a leader through consistent, kind, and generous example. His life was a lesson to us all.
Thank you, Rick, for sharing with us those qualities that any man would be much, much richer for having. And thank you for sharing those same qualities through the legacy of one of the finest families I have the privilege of knowing.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Achuff family.

I met Rick in the 80's through work and kept in touch over the years. Rick was an amazing friend and always willing to help you with anything. He loved his family so much, and was so proud of all of you . Our talks always turned to his sons and how excited he was by each of your accomplishments, and where your lives were taking you. He will be missed by all who were privileged enough to know him, as I am sure, like me, he touched many lives with his sense of humor, and authenticity. My thoughts and prayers are with you Paige, Matt and Tyler. I will be thinking of you Rick when the first pitch is thrown next year!! Maureen Creamer

My sincere condolences to Richard's family. Knew "Cups" very well in Cardinal OHara-Class of 1979. He was always happy, friendly, and a genuinely good friend. He was over my Moms house many times and we always enjoyed his company. I am sorry we drifted apart as we got older, but he always will be remembered fondly. I am very sorry to hear about your loss.

Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of Ricky. He was like a big brother to me in those very impressionable high school years. He always had a way of getting Jean and I in trouble ( in a good fun way) but was the first to be there to stand up and protect us. My thoughts and prayers have been with you continuously since I got the news. Hold your sweet memories close as I know you will..they will sustain you through this very trying time.....With Love Joanne Hodge Balchunas
