Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry that Rick has died. I expected him to live forever with his energy and intellect. I knew him at Wilberforce.

Signing 14 June, 2024 as acknowledgement of Rick's memory. I have recently turned to a book he gifted me and am enjoying the recollections through reading it. Good friend in life.

Just found out that Rick passed away last summer. So very much ~ Gone Too Soon. Rick was one of the sweetest, kindest, most positive and most thoughtful people I've known. I was very impressed with Rick's intellect, curiosity and sense of fun. We had good times going out to see live music, dancing and hanging out with friends some years ago when he lived here in Madison, WI. Was happy to meet Kimberly on their visit here a while ago.

Sending my condolences to his wife Kimberly and family. I am genuinely shocked and saddened to come across this news today. Rick was a gentleman and a kind soul who loved life. My mother and i met Rick in Lourdes, France (I think it was around 2006/8?) and had stayed in touch occasionally on Facebook. Love and blessings to you all from England, UK.

My son and I have known Richard as a friend for about thirty years. I'll always remember him for his kindness, generosity of spirit, and curiosity. His smile could light up a room. Richard truly had a heart for those less fortunate than he himself and he put those sentiments into action. We are especially thinking of his wife, Kimberly, mother, Audrey, and sister, Margaret at this time of loss.

So sorry for Richard's passing; Rick, you left the earth too soon. But you were in robust health most of your life -- outran me on the tennis court, went to Red Dog days at 6 am. We all love you; you are in a place no illness can touch. Much love to the family.

My deepest sympathy to Kimberly and Ricks Mom, Sister. I will truly miss our conversations and get togethers. How fortunate I am to have met Rick. You will truly be missed my friend.

My condolences to Margaret and Sheridan families and Rick's many friends.

Rick was a ceaseless adventurer with endless curiosity. The world was a better place with him in it.
