I went to school with Ric and have known his mother, Doris, for many years. He was a wonderful guy, always smiling and making everyone else smile, too. He will be missed.

Was so sad to see the news of Ric's passing on facebook. He was so much fun as teens on the bus and haven't seen him since our twenty's. I'm glad he was in my life and hope to see him again around the bend

I always had a great time being around Ric. We shared a lot of laughs and music and I am so sorry for your loss. I will remember those days hanging with him when we were young with much fondness.

Dusty and KC and Ms. Leinen and all your family: so much love to you all now in what I'm sure is a difficult time. Mr. Leinen was always a kind, fun, and delightful dad to Dusty and I know he will be missed. May he rest in peace. Love, Mark Franke
