Jeanne and family,
I was so very sorry to hear about your dear husband and your sons' Dad. Your family were good neighbors to us when we lived on Charwood Dr. Stay strong and keep going forward. Since my dear Wayne passed away last Nov 18, that's what I've been doing. Take care, Jeanne.
Fondly, Carlene Smith

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Rick was a special person. I have fond memories of him and our adventures as fellow Scoutmaster's doing projects and the fun we had at Rodney Scout Reservation.
