VERY SORRY TO HEAR OF RICKS PASSING, I WORKED AT THE STAMP WORKS YEARS AGO AND EVEN THOUGH RICK AND I DIDN'T ALWAYS SEE EYE TO EYE, WE MANAGED TO HAVE FUN...REST IN PEACE RICK......

Its been awhile since i've been here. Again i was cleaning out my email box and came upon this link again. where as i havent started to cry yet by the time i'm done i will be. I had a break down one day with mom about losing my purse and some of the valuables in it. And it got me to thinking that the one thing I wanted you to have before anything happened was my 2006 college graduation picture. But because i procrastinated you never saw it. (told ya i would start crying soon). I might have...

Well, today I was purusing through my old emails do delete the ones i dont need anymore and came upon the link to this guest book. I told myself its okay and that everything for him is better now but the tears still came. I miss you uncle Ricky something awful, just as I did Memere and my friends son Isaac, who died a week after you at age 3. I know your happy and pain free and given your health back, but I still cant help but be a little greedy and wish you where here with all of us. uncle...

Uncle Ricky-You beat me to Memere's deviled eggs!! So don't stink up the place too bad. Thank you for the memories and always putting a smile on my face. The greatest memory I have of you is for always being the clown in the family. I think that's what drew you and me so close. Thank you for the COUNTLESS times you gave me advice, and lent a ear for me to bend. I hope I can pass this on to my kids, or other nieces/nephews in the family. Don't worry about Aunt Sue, Jen, Brian, Matt, or...

In Memory of Ricky..for Rachel...

It seems as tho our tears will never really end...
and we wonder if our hearts will ever fully mend.
For a part of our own lives Monday we laid to rest,
As we said good-bye to to someone who stood among the best.

This someone was a father, firm but gentle, too,
a tender-hearted brother; like him there are so few.
Even more he was a husband with love so very true,
every moment of every...

Dear Susan and family,
Mark and I extend our condolences on the loss of Richard. Most of my memories of him are when he was a young child and boy living in the Brunswick area. His obituary was a lovely tribute to him as a man. May God give you strength and many loving memories.
His cousin,
Joanne Lavoie Crepeau
