CAPT. RICK RUCKER

The last week has been difficult and it has been hard to accept the uncle I knew and admired so much is no longer with us. Uncle Rick, you were what I like to call "Good People" and I only wish I would have spent more time with you in these last few years. The memories I have are filled with laughter, fun, and good conversation -- I can't complain about that. I know every day I spend at sea, you will be in my thoughts. I have to say I take comfort in knowing every time I get underway, I...

i will alwaysremember rick and his fiat and the marboro ciggs. i love you cousin ricky luv lola

I will always remember your incredible laugh and biting wit. Thank you for being such a great Uncle. I am fortunate to have many memories of time spent with you. It is difficult to say goodbye to you but I am comforted knowing that you lived life doing what you loved to do and with Aunt Peggy, had a remarkable love and loving family. Thank you for all the gifts that you left behind. Angel

Daddy, I can't tell you how much I'll miss you. I keep wanting to call you or expecting you to walk through the door at any moment. Even the dogs know that something is not quite right at the Rucker house.
You always thought you knew what was best for me, most of the time you were right, sometimes not so much. You gave me my sense of humor, my fun-loving ways, my life.
I know you went the way you would have wanted, quick and easy, I just wish it would have been much, much...

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I worked with Rick in the power industry.

A very sorrowful day for those in the electric industry that knew Rick. Always fun to be around and very knowledgable. We will miss him.

Dear Peggy, Kelly, & Scott,

I have such good memories of Rick as as my boss. Peggy, I remember our shopping trips in Pensacola & New Orleans. I'm thinking of you during this very sad time. Wilma

I was sad to hear of Rick's passing. Rick and I were friends for many in the energy industry. He was always a pleasure be around when I was in Houston. Rick will be dearly missed.

I am so sorry to hear fo Rick's passing. We worked together in the Power Industry and he was truly a good man! He will be missed.
