Rick Friend

Think about you often Rick, always missed good buddy. Aky

Still remember and miss you Rick and all the great memories we had growing up together. I drive past your old home in Burnham weekly and remember walking to school together on our first day at senior school. Our camping nights in Boy Scouts and in our gardens and jumping off your Grandmas shed roof. You will never be forgotten buddy. Till we meet again. John Atkinson

I miss my Uncle and I wish he could come back to live so I can see him and play with him again.

Rick Friend was my Uncle. Although we live many hours away, we were still super close. When he came to visit, he would tell me how he was going to plan a trip for me to go to New York and stay in his house. He told me all the things that we would do. My mother, his sister, probably would have NEVER let me go because I would have had to fly by myself, but he would still tell me how he would sneak me in his luggage. My uncle was a very great person. He influenced many people. I truly miss him...

I am sure I speak for all of mr. Friends students when I say he was an extraordinary teacher. He took the time and made certain each of us understood the material and understood what was expected of us as a student. He was also a sort of friend that we all looked up to. He made class entertaining and interesting with his adorable English accent. He will always be remembered as my favorite history teacher. He will truly be missed... so sorry for your loss

Our hearts are heavy at the passing of Rick. Our kids had the pleasure of having him as a teacher and our youngest also in mock trial. Like so many others, he was the topic of conversation, many nights. So very sorry for your loss.

My prayers for you and the family at this very sad time.

He was an amazing person, and shared my love for military movies and books. My favorite teacher ever taken away far too soon. Was extremely excited to do mock trial with him but I no longer will be doing so.

So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to family and friends.
