Rick was my nephew and I have so may memories of him, we would take him to Mexico with us all the time on vacations, he was so much fun and full of life, I always said he missed his calling, he should have been a comedian, he could entertain us for hours with his George Carlin imitations. I will miss him so much,. He was so proud of his girls.Rest in peace Rick. Aunt Nancy

Rick, you will be missed. You were like a brother to me during the years Cindy and I lived together. Your humor was priceless and I loved hanging out rebuilding carburetors at the VW shop. You have left us with a legacy of 3 smart and beautiful daughters. Time to rest now...enjoy.

I didn't get to spend a lot of time with my cousin Rick growing up but he was always a lot of fun to be with when I did. All us girl cousins thought he was so cute. I am so glad that I was able to spend time with him this summer when I visited California. We will all miss him.
Love, Cousin Sandra

I first met Rick 34 years ago...he tagged along on my first date with his sister Teree. It was the beginning of a great friendship and it wasn't long before the in-law part was dropped as he truly became my brother. I've learned many things over the years from Rick. One of the most memorable was the fun we had playing softball together for eight years on the same team...he was the pitcher and I the catcher. I learned to have passion for all sports as he did and I have many great memories of Padre and Charger games that we watched together.
I Love and Miss him...His Brother Gary

Rick always had a good story and wanted to help you any way he could. I am glad we were friends for almost 40 years.

The first thing I think of when I think of Rick is "the pink Rambler." High school days never left my memories of Rick. Rick had the biggest heart and was so full of life. He loved to have fun and make the best of every moment. I also used to work for Rick at Construction Collections and he was also a great boss! Rick will truly be missed and he was so blessed to have his girls, that is what he lived for. Girls, I am so sorry for your loss. I too, loss my dad at an early age and it was really hard. Rick is gone, but he will not be forgotten. Love you Rick!!

"Rick and I were both friends and former business partners. He was selfless to others and would drop everything to help a friend. His wit and humor brought great joy to those fortunate enough to be his friends. We shared many hours together brainstorming our business enterprises. We enjoyed memorable trips fishing in Baja and laughing about "the one that got away". Not to mention Padre Spring Training in Yuma with Rick and his best friend, Perry Smith.
They say that you can count your true friends on one hand. My hand and my heart are both lessened by the loss of by Dear Friend, Rick."

Richard was one of the nicest men. He and I worked together at the Four Seasons Aviara Golf Course in Carlsbad. He had a great personality and liked by all he came in contact with. He will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his family.
