Rick and Fran were my neighbors for over 30 years. Besides being friends and sharing restaurants stories , Rick was my go to if I needed a certain tool or his advise on how to fix something. We were a " Do It Your Self'ers " neighborhood. His Smile and his laugh will be truly missed. Fran, you and the kids will be in my thoughts and prayers during this healing time.

I am so sorry to hear of Rick's passing. Rick and I worked together for several years slinging nuts and bolts. We had some pretty good laughs - Rick always with the dry sense of humor and a belly laugh. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family for comfort and healing for Rick's family.
