Dear Peluso Family,

I know God has embraced you and I trust his Love will comfort you in the days ahead. I shared in uniform with Rick with many days of laughter and this is truly a shock in hearing. I recently was on a visit out West and had the fortunate opportunity to exchange some post retirement stories with Rick. Words will never convey what I feel right now but I know well that it does not compare to your lost. Again, I hope God continues to embrace you all as he did during Rick's time in service.

With deep sympathy,

Reginald "Regi" Davis

May God sustain you with comfort and strenght during this difficult time. When Ernie talks about his brother, Rick. before his passing, you could tell that Ernie has high regards of him. Rick was and always will be a good soul.

Dear LeeAnn, Shannon & Brittney,
We are in shock and dissbelief to receive the tragic news of Rick's death. We will always remember the seven years living next door to the Peluso family. Rick touched our lives in so many ways. Working on our yards together, watching over our house and Rick helping our son when he was struck by a car in the neighborhood. We will truly miss Rick. His big heart and kindness will always be remembered. We are praying for you LeeAnn and family. May God sustain you and His Love comfort you in the days ahead.
Sincerely, Scott & Heidi McInturf & family
