Not sure what to say?

Hi Dave Wright here Just wanted to share that I've written 5 or so stories about some childhood experiences I had with my friend 'Ritchie' it's been really sweet for me and I'm happy to share. Not sure how to get them to you guys?

Elizabeth I so glad you wrote back. Legacy has my email so please feel free to write. I'm so sorry about Kate. I've written about a couple of our experiences already. Not sure how to get them to you. The first one to come up was when we found some old golf clubs and balls and went out behind the oleanders in their back yard and 'golfed' we made holes out of coffee cans. Little mounds of dirt for tees. We were about 11? Soooo fun. I have a whole story so... Take care. I'm in Tempe now....

Dave, I greatly appreciate the opportunity to view those childhood memories that you are willing to share. I am sure that his son, Tim, would also love reading them. Our daughter, Kate, unfortunately also passed away in December of 2024.

Man, I wish I'd gotten to see him. Blessings to...

Rick and I went to school together for all 12 years at our wonderful catholic schools in Tucson. He was handsome, smart and very quiet. When I was in high school I actually had a crush on him. Nothing ever came of my crush but he was still a friend. So sorry to hear of his passing, praying for him and his loved ones. Marta Izo

Rick was a very quiet man. He loved his family intensely and was one of the most forgiving humans that ever lived. One of our family friends observed that Rick loved anyone that loved his family. These words are such a wonderful tribute to him. His greatest single asset was his incredible kindness. Everyone that knew him knew that. And while he possessed a very dry and clever sense of humor, his humor was never at the expense of someone else, which is not an easy feat. Rick was an extremely...
