I could say enough about Rick to fill a novel however after knowing him and his family for so many years I will merely nod my head and celebrate. Knowing Rick I can assure all that he would not want mourning, nor tears... He was to full of life, to full of fun, and sharing to a fault. He would ask us to remember him as he was and to keep on getting up.There are a plenty more deals and adventures as well as good golf where he has gone. Maybe now he will be able to hit a 1 iron. I here only God can do that!!!
I wish now and hope that Linda and the kids can recover from their loss, as they knew and loved Him better than anyone. Peace be with you Rick and love and luck. See ya
Chris
