BOB & I ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO RICK FOR INCLUDING US IN THE MANY TRIPS HE & MADONNA TOOK. HE WAS A FANTASTIC TOUR GUIDE & ALWAYS GOT THE BEST DEALS. I REMEMBER FONDLY THE PLASTIC EGG HE & I FOOLED EACH OTHER WITH FROM PARIS TO BOSTON OVER A SPAN OF MANY YEARS. AND THERE IS THE PICTURE WE HAVE OF THE 2 BOYS WHO MOONED US AT WHIMBELTON IN 1988. RICHARD WAS ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN & A GREAT HOST. THE ANTIPASTA AND CHEDDAR CHEESE APPETIZERS HE PREPARED WERE SO SPECIAL.

A day doesn't go by that my Dad isn't in my thoughts. So many fond memories, of all the great times we had together. The daily e-mails always started my day off with a smile, especially when it would come in 2 parts because he pushed the wrong button. His daily routine, meals and sports were always the highlight, and little remembrances of days gone by often graced his page. His sense of humor sometimes dry always brought a smile, because this was Dad. So many memories I will always cherish....

Rick will always be remembered fondly for the wonderful life he shared with our Mom. Together they traveled the world and shared once in a lifetime experiences and memories with their family and friends.His personality and classic one liners will also never be forgotten.!!Love, #1 (Gen)

This is the first time in my life I have experienced such pain and such a feeling of emptiness. There are no words that can possibly describe how I feel. Even at my age I was not ready to loose “My Dad”. I still have questions that only he can answer!
For the past 16 + years Dad and I have written each other everyday whenever possible. Starting with hand written letters which were mailed every morning; then came the star writer and fax machine then finally the ease of E mail.
