Arlene and boys,

Please know that you are all in our thoughs and prayers.

Rick will always be in our thoughts and our hearts; Arlene and boys in our prayers. Take comfort in knowing he loved you all very much and told us so many times. We will miss him, but never forget him - a true friend, "brother" and great guy.

We met all those years ago on the trails in Baldwin and saw each other when you or Arlene needed service on your car/truck, I will miss our talks.
I know your family will miss you more.
