Tina,
I just heard the news today of Rick's passing, and I wanted to express my sympathy to you. I worked with Rick at Louis Bull, and it was always a pleasure working with him. He was a wonderful guy, and it always made me happy when the bell on the door rang and he would walk in. He always spoke so highly of you too. I have fond memories of him.

Again Tami and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to you and the family. We knew you and Rick loved to cruise and even though we were not with you a couple of months ago I know you cherised your time with him cruising. As President of our largest hospital volunteer program here in Wichita I know what it meant to all that came in contact with Rick at his job....always remember "Experts built the Titanic.. Volunteers built the ARC..Jerry and Tami from Kansas

Tina...We were so shocked by this news. Rick brought so much joy to our office & always looked forward to seeing his smiling face. He, my Dad & Curly are reminiscing about those days. We will all miss him very much & I know there is a void in your heart. Keep those memories close & pray that they will begin to ease the saddness. Much love to you & your family. May he R.I. P.
