Read MoreGod bless y´all as you grieve the loss of Rick. His fingerprints are all over my house: crawlspace, basement, roof, porch and columns, clapboards, kitchen renovation, back room.

Dear Kate, We are so sorry to hear of Rick´s passing. You both were always so welcoming when we visited your home and met you at church. Our love for the Lord brought us together many years ago. May God´s peace comfort you and your family knowing that Rick is home with Jesus. Nancy and Mike LaRocco

To Rick's Family, may you cherish his memory and find peace. We didn't know Rick very well but were always impressed with the care and sensitivity he had when working on our 1772 historic house. Such a rarity.....and so greatly appreciated. May he rest in peace.

Oh my!! We have all lost a GOOD GUY. i go back 40-50 years ago with Dick and Kate. They are the best. We worked together on 2 stores plus our family place in the Adirondacks. Talk about honesty and one who was creative--none better. I just wish I could have worked with him the rest of my life. So, see all at the funeral--man I loved this guy!!.. Tony Davis

Rick was such a wonderful builder - he understood what you wanted before you did. He made a major renovation/addition to our 1812 farmhouse interpreting less than articulate plans from our architect. He was an artist in his own right - we turned to him whenever our home called out and the resulting workmanship was extraordinary. Rick, we will miss you so much. Sending love to all of your family.
