My husband and I had been neighbors of Rick and his family when he was a teenager; we just learned of his passing. We watched him grow and always knew him to be a wonderful, kind person. Tina, may God give you and all who loved Rick strength; may you treasure wonderful, special memories and know that all those who knew this very special man feel privileged to have known him.

Dear Family,
I am so saddened to hear of Rick's passing. I have been his dental hygienist for the past 10+ years and I will say, there will be a tremendous void here in my chair.
My prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
Love and deepest sympathy,
Jennifer ( from East Amherst Dental Center)

To Rick's Family~
My entire family met Rick years ago as a new neighbor. He was always ready with a genuine smile, as well as allowing my grand-kids to pogo right outside his door. We will miss him.
Rick was the kind of man that you hope your own kids turn out to be.
Our deepest thoughts and prayers to his family.

Blessings,
Wray, Chris, Wray, Rory, Nicole, Aaliyah and Keela
