Not sure what to say?

To the Moncrief Family,

I am deeply saddened by the news of Rick's passing. Rick was one of the nicest guys I have been lucky enough to have known. We had some great times at Pioneer and the years after. Like others I have not been in contact with Rick in awhile, but the good times we had were many and the memories of those will last a lifetime. My prayers go out to the family. Rick my friend may god be with you, RIP....

Dear Moncrief Family,
Rick was a great friend that was dearly loved by many. I am forever grateful to call him friend.

To The Moncrief Family,
I was shocked to hear of Rick's passing. Although we hadn't spoken in many years, the news sent me back to memories of John Muir and Pioneer and my time spent with Rick. Like Rick and David teaching me to fly fish at Yellowstone, causing trouble on our paper routes, or the time we rafted an overflowing Ross Creek during a huge 82' winter storm. It seems we were always "UP" to something. During those years we were like brothers and your family welcomed me when I...

To The Moncrief Family,

I am so saddened to hear the news. Although I too haven't seen Rick in years, I cannot forget his infectious smile, his happy-go-lucky way. He always made you feel welcome in the crowd, always that "good guy." You are loved by many. RIP, Baby.......

To the Moncrief family -- I am truly saddened to hear about Rick's passing. I am also part of the St. Martin's "brotherhood". I remember that Rick always had a smile on his face and was quick with a joke. There is another special bond I have with Rick. I believe my father was Rick's mom's obstetrician, so he was there to welcome Rick into this world. As my father passed away last summer, I'm sure he was there to welcome Rick into Heaven. May God bless your entire family. My thoughts...

Dear Suzie and Bobby,

I was so sad to hear about Rick. Although I had not seen him in many years, through Tracy's updates, I had followed your family's growth. She talked about how much both you and Rick adorded little Bobby and were making a really nice life in Chico. The memories you made as a couple and as a family are treasures you will carry with you always. You are in our thoughts, in our hearts and in our prayers.

Shocked and saddened is the way I feel today. I also went to grammar school with Rick. When I opened the paper and saw Rick’s picture and name I felt numb. Although I have not spoken to Rick in many years, our Saint Martin Bangles bond was a brotherly bond. I was very happy to see that he found love and had a baby. Suzanne, you and Mary Lou will be in my thoughts. Rick was a gentle soul growing up and never had a bad word to say about anyone. I was very privileged to have known him. Stay...

My Dear Sister Suzie, Bobby and the Moncrief Family,

Our hearts go out to you during this difficult time. We are so truly sorry for your loss. Rick was a wonderful person and will be missed greatly. He will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Rick was more than a brother-in-law, but a friend who cared about what you had to say and what you were doing in your life. One of the best memories that we will forever hold dear is the weekend we stayed with you guys and drifted down...

I can still remember the fishing and camping trips that we took, your dad, your mom, you, Tracy (N.G.) and me, and sometimes Pat. We had a lot of fun together. I wish we could have had one more hunting trip. Suzie and Bobby will always be our family. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 4: "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven, a time to be born and a time to die...a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." I'll miss you my friend, miss you a...
