Our condolences to the Dillard family. Truly a blessing to me and my family to have had Rick in our lives. We were neighbors on Gibson but he treated us more like family. Such a wonderful and loving individual. Gone but certainly not forgotten.

Rick was infact my dearest friend. He will forever be missed by me. His hand made gifts and music will forever reside with me

My prayers are with the Dillard Family. Rick was a team mate on the swim team at Drury. He was supportive and kind to all within and without his circle of friends. He never had an unkind word for anyone and led an exemplary life true to his nature.

Rick was there threw several difficult times in my life, He always offered his help, and made me laugh when i needed it, and honest when i didnt want to hear it! i am truly happy i got to be in his life, even if for a short time.

I met Rick just after his notorious Goodness was Outed by Vital Voice, telling of his trash-to-treasure Chairs he auctioned each May for EFA.

I just leaarned of Rick's passing. I will remember him from high school as a very happy, caring and talented person. My thoughts are with his family.

When our son Evan was born, Rick made a chair for his "Nemo" themed room and gave it as a gift to Evan. It is the best thing in his room and we still have it and love it so much. It saddens us to hear about Rick. We will miss getting that special package at Christmas of his greeting card creation for that year. His letters with the cards were so inspirational. We treasure all the memories of you and all you did to help our friend Al in the end of his days. We know both of you are in heaven...

My prayers and sympathy to the Dillard family. I just learned of Rick's passing today, and am heavy hearted at the loss of this wonderful friend. God's peace to you.
