A more pleasant and witty person you would be hard pressed to find. I knew Rick through Cultural Center/ Renaissance Court. I loved trying to out-pun him, but good luck with that. I and those in Improv miss him very much. Kudos for a life well lived.

Rick will always be in our hearts. He was a great person with a wonderful sense of humor. Even in his later years he always went to the Cultural Center almost everyday. His longtime friend Alan would enjoy going to many social events and to the symphony with him. He will be missed. Rest in peace,Rick.
We will never forget you.Alan,Sharon,Ken and Barbara

I will miss your funny humor. Two days before Rick died he called me. He couldn't talk but I told him that I loved him and my prayers are with him. I will miss you Uncle Rick. You were the best.

I remember Ricky very well from High School. We used to go out together and I was invited by him to homecoming at Drake. I rode with his parents to the school. He had a great heart. Feel free to contact me and accept my condolences on the loss of a good guy.
