Gina, Mr.and Mrs.Klein and Fred, Words cannot express the loss of Rick. This is still surreal to us. You are all in our prayers and thoughts. He was one of, if not, the best friend our family ever had. He was ALWAYS there when we needed him. He was a great role model for James and Anthony. Rick was a good listener and gave good advice; he was a very understanding and caring person. You know you can call us ANYTIME!
