Dear Kim, Alyssa, Ricky & Michael,

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with each of you! Cousin, Eleanor, did call me to tell me about Rick's accident. I was on the west coast and didn't pick up the message until I returned home. May you know the love and support of each other, family, friends, and our Provident God!

Love,

Rick was My Friend and I will miss him, My thoughts and prayers are with Kim and the kids. Rick and I worked together for many years and had some great times together where we built a life long friendship. I will miss going back and forth with Rick about the Philly/Boston sports scene, Truth be told, I think Rick might have been OK with My Eagles winning the Superbowl, Almost. Rest in Peace My Brother from another Mother.

To Kim, Alyssa, Ricky & Michael; Jennifer and all of the other beautiful sisters; extended family, loved ones and friends, we are so very sorry about Rick's passing. I am the sister of Michael Miller who is married to Jen, and I met all of you at their wedding. The description given of Rick in his obituary is exactly as I remember him...it is apparent he really did live his life to the fullest and that his time here was well-spent. I am so sorry for your loss as I know it is truly a big one...if there is anything any of you need from us, please do not hesitate to ask...May God comfort you and keep you and we will certainly have you all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Love, Mindy Miller

Michael, Kim, Ricky and Alyssa. I was heartbroken to hear of Rick's accident. I will always be grateful for the counsel and assistance he gave during Mike's baseball years. He would always leave us smiling. He was a good man and I have thought of him often over the years. My sincere condolences. Dave Coleman, Fort Myers, FL
