Oh my this brings back so many memories seeing this post about Rick, because my beloved Dean passed away the same month and same year and Dean's memorial service on the same day as Ricks and they worked together for OxyChem,so Becky and family, I feel your pain as the anniversary of Deans death is coming up on Nov 16th and the loss is still unbearable after all of these years, so god bless you and your loved ones

Rick, somehow legacy found me this morning. You are loved fiercely by family and friends, you lived large, being so proud of you "girls", and always being present in all they and your boys were doing in sports and in life. They brought you as much joy as you brought them. I know my best friend and you beautiful wife Becky is thinking of you and remembering so many happy times you both shared together and with your family. I want to thank you for the many years that you and Becky shared an...

Once again my heart go out to the family of Rick, as he was a friend of my beloved Dean, and their deaths was only 4-days apart, so as it comes up on ten years, Becky and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers as all of the memories come flooding back, but those memories have helped me through the longest of days and the darkest of nights.

Another year goes by without the ones we loved so dear. Uncle Rick, you and Grandma Sharp was the glue to this family. Nothing is the same without y'all here. I know life must go on, but there sure is a great void without the both of you. You are so loved and missed. I know my mom misses u and grandma, and aunt Janet like no other. I see days were she struggles wanting to pick up the phone to call one of you just to hear your take on things. Yalls opinion was golden to her. Just hope your...

I posted this picture on my facebook page in memory of the Rick I knew while growing up in Shafter, and through the friendship Rick and Becky had with my parents. As the say, A PICTURE REALLY IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. So here it is, Rick cutting up, clowning around, and being a great friend.

Becky,
My heart aches on your loss of Rick,
for I have also lost my true love of 37 years
Dean's memorial service was also on saturday Nov 20th. Dean always talked about Rick and was always glad to hear that he was doing OK, now they are together again and watching over us all.
My prayers are with you

Rick,
We always knew that you had Wings of an Angel and a Halo made of Gold. Now it time to really let them show. You are loved so much and will be greatly missed.

Becky,
Just know that we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers in the months to come. Rick was always so full of life and laughter. Whenever we would run across you and Rick somewhere (Stateline, Vegas, Don Pericos, etc.) it would seem like we had just seen you yesterday and the years would just melt away. So sorry we had to miss the service but I know it was a beautiful tribute to a great husband, father and friend. God Bless you with all our love, Tom and Sherry Sharp
