Not sure what to say?

Miss you, love you, and think of you often, "Rickoosh". Happy holidays to our family and all of Rick's friends. <3

I am shocked by the news, which I heard only today. Playing league sports (track, football, basketball) at OLG in Dearborn Heights with the Rzepka brothers, coached by Rick's dad Tom are great memories and positive influences in my life. I was equally saddened when I learned of Tom's passing in 2011. My sympathies and thoughts are with your family. Find comfort in the positive influences Rick and his father had on the lives they affected.

Your family has been blessed with love and great memories of a wonderful person who will continue to be a part of your everyday lives. God bless your family and know you are in my prayers. with love, a childhood family school friend since OLG-BBHS

Cindy and Little Man,

I cannot express my deepest sadness nor sympathy. I don't know what to say, except if you need anything please, please do not hesitate to ask.

Miss you and thinking about you. Please give Ethan a big hug for me!!

Love,
