While many years have passed the memory of the happy times have not. Though I had not seen Rick recently his smile and sense of humor are easily recalled. Will always remember driving to Florida with him measuring the bridges for the truck behind us and Rick teaching me to drive a standard in the down times. Lots of laughs and good times. While his time on earth was short his capacity to live and laugh was anything but. My thoughts and prayers are with all his loved ones.

Maryellen, Bob (BobJohn) & Mrs. Whitty,
I am truly sorry I missed the services for Rick. I would have been there if I could have! You all were an important part of my childhood and I am deeply saddened that such a memorable/important person from my early years has passed. Please know that my parents and my brothers were moved as well and send their best. Its times like these that you wish contacts had not been so far between.
In my thoughts and prayers, Susan Fontaine (Wessels),...

Whitty Family please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. My memories of being friends with Rick in high school still bring a smile to my face as I remember the days at Chesters Market and of our "famous" camping trip.
