Ric is one of the kindest souls that I have ever met. His thoughtfulness and concern for others well being made him a standout human being to me. We played music together off and on and I enjoyed our talks about Kalamazoo, MI and Gibson guitars. I hope you all are doing well with this unfortunate event. Ric was a Costco brother to me as well as to all the other Costco employees he worked with. He will be missed, but not forgotten. I will try my hardest to continue spreading his kindness throughout the world. R.I.P. my friend and music brother. AL

To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.
