Not sure what to say?

Hiking Henry Cowell- Rick, Brad, Elaine(me), David & Cassie June 11, 2008

Oh, I was just searching for Rick to contact him , then I found this. I was a friend in Boulder Creek when he lived here, & hiked with him all over the mtns before he moved to Georgia. Listening to his stories and his hiking excursions. We chatted multiple times when he lived in Georgia too. Sadden by his loss. He was a great man. My condolences to his whole family. Rest in peace, my dear friend. You were an inspiration. Elaine Alicia

I don't know what to say to you all other than, I am so, so sorry for your recent losses. Wow. May God carry you through this difficult journey. Love to you all.

Thanks for your impeccably-timed and insightful advice, which will continue to embraced. Your wisdom will be missed.

In 1990 & 1991 Rick & my husband Don coached their sons, Timothy & Don Jr., for SLV Little League. He spent a lot of time coaching & allowing the kids to come to his house to use the batting cage. He was a great coach & friend to all of us. Sincere condolences to the family. We will miss him.

Rick: We love and miss you every day. Jim and Jorganne

To all of Rick's family, a big hug and hoping your love for Rick and all your memories bring comfort to you.

Thank you for being my brother.

Richard, thank you for being our next door neighbor and friend in Boulder Creek. We shared many good times together and lots of good food that Jan made. I really appreciated all your help through the years. You were always there to lend a hand and I never had to ask. I always enjoyed our phone calls after we both moved from Boulder Creek. I miss you a lot.

Richard, you were the first neighbor we met in Boulder Creek and our favorite. It didn't take long before you, Robert and I were friends. You always had this upbeat personality and spirit, even while trying to beat cancer. We will miss talking with you. Our hearts go out to your family, as I am sure they will miss you also. You were one of a kind. Our deepest condolences to your family.
