It has been 9 years since the passing of you. I think of you every December along with the passing of my Dad. I am up having coffee, as it was a time we would talk and share stories. I like to believe you are one of many guardian angels looking over all of us

Trish and family, so sorry for your loss. I've known Rick since 1984, he truly is a great person. He touched so many lives and was warm and friendly when I ran into him around town. He fought a good fight. The last time I saw Rick he was brave and had faith in the choice he'd made regarding his health. I was fortunate to count him as a friend. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Rick's passing. I enjoyed working with him as a Reserve Deputy and later as a full time deputy in the 80's and 90's. He was a lot of fun and enjoyed discussing hot rods and rock & roll music. Condolences to all his family. One of the good guys.

RIP buddy! You now have the time to tune that Mustang a bit more. Our prayers go out to Rick's entire family. He was a great guy and I have terrific 'young guy' memories of hanging out and lying about cars with Rick.

May you rest in peace. Rick will be missed and remembered forever. Rick loved to cook, and when he and Trish would come visit me in Salem, Rick would be up first, making coffee and helping me cook breakfast. We Would share these moments and discuss our recipes. He taught me how to make taco casserole.
We had trish in common but we formed our own friendship. I met his girls one Easter and he had baskets full of stuffed bunnies for them. When my own daughter was born, both trish and rick came to see her. She had a cold, and rick held my baby close in his arms, rocking and talking to her. Rick touched my life and I know from being in his presence what a spirit of goodness he shared. He loved his children, adored/loved his wife, and gave me friendship. I'll think of him when I'm up at dawn drinking coffee.
