Oh my heart has just broken all over again. I was looking for Stan's brother Ron's obituary and I found Rick's. Dear Clancy and Rita, we've been so wrapped up in our Rickard health issues that we hadn't heard this sad news. Had we known, of course we would have been there to express our sympathy and give you our support. Deepest condolences and prayers for comfort as you grieve this terrible loss. We are so very sorry. Much love to you and your family,
Stan & Chris

Sorry for your loss. I joined the Scottville Clown Band a few years ago, and was always welcomed by Rick. He will be missed. Now there's another trombone player in heaven.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loved and deepest condolences are extended to you. Something that's helped me through the death of loved ones is to reflect on 1 Corinthians 15:26.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Rick was a valued member of our Oceana Fair Bd. family and will be sorely missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers. "Filming" virtual Fair 2020 on Facebook Live, together with Rick this summer, will always be a special memory. Will miss his smile and dry sense of humor.

To the family of Rick . . my heart is saddened hearing of his 'so early' passing . . he is still so young. We met yrs ago both playing in The Clown Band and always spent time talking & catching up on what we each were doing. Let's hope he has his trombone and will continue entertaining others. What a truly genuine 'friend' and a loss to so many. I'm glad our paths crossed.
