Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. May his memory be a blessing. He was a good neighbor to my family

Myself and my friends will never forget Rick as our mentor a the Clark’s Green United Methodist Church youth group “MYF”. He helped us grow and put on a performance of John Lennon “Imagine” - probably was in 1971 or 72.

To his family and friends I’m so sorry for your loss. It hurts seeing this. So many great memories growing up as a scout with Troop 160 with Rick at the helm as my first Scoutmaster in the early 80s. I am so grateful for his guidance and dedication and for the lessons he shared with all of us to grow to be men. May he rest in peace , campfire nearby with plenty of firewood, a pot of freshly brewed coffee waiting for that dutch oven pineapple upsidedowncake covered in embers, and a guitar...

To Matt, Doug & Wendy. I am so saddened to hear of Rick's passing. He was a great friend, mentor, and Scoutmaster. I learned many life lessons and leadership skills from Rick and he inspired me to become an Eagle Scout and Scoutmaster of our Troop. I will always remember our backpacking trips, fun at Lake Winola and the Jersey Shore. He will be greatly missed in the Scouting community. My wife Nancy and I extend our deepest sympathies to you all.

Rick was my scoutmaster when I joined Troop 160 in the early 70's. Helped me on the path to Eagle. Which I received in '78.

Rick thank you for being such a good neighbor.
