Edie, Marny and I send our thoughts to you and wish you the best during this hard time. We so much enjoyed Rick at work in OBO and especially the dinners together in N.H. and VA. Rick was a special friend and will be greatly missed. Frank & Marny Banks

Dear Edie, Elbert and I send our thoughts and prayers to you at this time. My sister Jean and I always talk about the time we all had dinner and Filomena's and how much fun we had talking with Rick about music. We are glad we had the opportunity to meet Rick and spend some time with him. Love, Maryann & Elbert

Dear Edie, Thinking of you and praying for peace and comfort during your time of sorrow. Love, Amy Carey

Dear Edie. We were so saddened to hear about Rick's passing. We share many memories from our distant past. The four of us. We went thru some trials and tribulations of living in a country where the culture is so different and our discussions were interesting. You and I met at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, two admin assts working for different departments. And we introduced the guys to each other. Both of them civil engineers doing construction engineering in the Middle...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Edie
My deepest sympathy to you and your family at this very sad time for you all. Rick, May he RIP will live in our hearts forever!
Love Mary Tuohy

Our prayers are with you Edie. We will miss our dinners with you and Rick. Rick had a tough year and we were looking forward to our next time together either at dinner or wine in the driveway. We have many fun memories of our travels around the state with the two of you.

Rick even though you were my brother in law you were always consider my brother. You were always there to help me with any questions I had after my husband passed and listen to my thoughts when I needed someone to just listen. I will miss you terribly Rick, you fought hard, now your with Frenchie and the two of you can go forward to do what you planned but never got the chance here. Love you Rick, one day we will all be together again and the family will be completed once again. Bless you...
