Not sure what to say?

Dear Patty, I remember Rick well from our meet ups at Cypress Elementary School. He was loved by all. I wish you good memories of your times with him on this anniversary day of his memorial.

We just found out about Rick's passing. We are in Gloucester, Ma and was informed by Carol.I will always remember Rick's smile. No matter how he was really feeling, Rick always presented an up-beat attitude. He could light up a room with his witty stories and his easy way. He will be dearly missed by our old neighborhood group who shared many potluck dinners together when all of our children were young ones. My heartfelt sympathy to Derk, Amber and Katie as well as the grandchildren he adored.

Rick was a great friend and neighbor. He was always ready to help and offer a funny comment to make you feel better.
Even though we spend most of our time in the east now.
I will miss seeing him the once or twice a year we were able to get together.

His smile seemed to greet me before he did whenever I would run into him. What a kind soul. I am so sorry for your loss. fondly,
Megan Sandoval

Always a gentle man.

Hi Patty,
Rick was the easiest person to get to know. He always greeted you with a smile and a friendly comment. He deserves a special place in heaven. May God bless you and your family.
