I was a salesperson during the same time Rick was. He enjoyed Tombstone Pizza and our booth at the hokey games. He also became a fan of squash casserole (Or pretended to like it). He was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor. I am sorry for his family and close friends! You will be in my prayers.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Ricky's passing, and I am praying for his wife and family. Ricky and I were friends from elementary thru high school. After high school we ran around together for the first couple years and became very close friends during that time. Then, I started dating seriously and got married, he was still living the single life, and we drifted apart. I only ran into him once or twice after that for a brief moment, at the mall or during the work day in passing. We were both athletically talented and played a lot of back yard football and other sports together. We were about as evenly matched athletic wise as two people could be. We had a lot of fun together. We used to go all over town and sneak into different Motel's swimming pools as we couldn't afford to belong to a swim club back then. I regret now we didn't stay in touch over the years, but I guess that seems to happen to all of us at times. So long Ricky Dean, I'll see you in Heaven someday. Keith.

Please know that our thoughts,and prayers are with you at this time.We are very sorry in the homegoing of Ricky. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. Who comforts us in all our tribulation,that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble,with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us ,so our consolation also abounds though Christ.

Marsha, please know you are in my prayers and have been since I learned of Rick's illness. I thought the world of Rick when I worked at Valley Rich, and also your Dad, who was so kind to adopt and care for our beloved Luke. I know what it's like to lose your hubby at such a young age, not to mention the heartache of the days preceeding. Just know he is no longer in pain and he is safe in the hands of the Lord.

I cannot begin to imagine the emptiness in your heart. I pray that God will give you strength and lift you up into His arms. The love you shared with Rick will live forever. I miss you Rickster. And I Love You Marsha, my dearest and most precious friend.

All My Love,
Kim
