You will be forever in our hearts - for you did not die - you live on in each of us, in memory and in love! You were the greatest of great men! You loved, cared, helped, and lived life like no other! This world has lost a wonderful man, and our lives will never be the same because of the light you gave us all, and because of the now emptiness we all suffer! We will remeber you with great joy for the beautiful life you lived! Thank you! Thank you for loving my sister with all your heart and for making her so happy and treating her so well! I am so grateful for the time she had with you and I wish you could have lived out all that you had dreamed together! Thank you for all you did for us and for all the ways you showed you cared! We love you beyond words and will forever miss you! I love you Rick - I alway did and I always will!

Hey Rick,
I don't know where to begin, I miss you and your girls miss u and your little boy misses gpa. I'm glad that I met Nicky because I was able to meet you. You're an awsome guy, I always looked up to you as father figure. I'll always remember you telling me I couldn't have got this done without my son. I remember when I flew to Denver to help you guys move back. You said it wouldn't be possible to bring everything and we pulled it off together.
When we would go do curbing and the last couple
of feet to go I'd come up with the wheel barrow and "pain is weakness leaving the body".
The times we worked together at harvest and you'd always bring me chicken and hotpockets from the store down the street or vice versa.
I was always proud to tell people about my father in law and how smart he was when it comes to corrugaters.
Thanks for all your advice and the scoldings, for they did me well. I promise to look to do my best to take care
of Nicky and Jacki and little ducky, and you know there's no doubt about that. You never doubted me When it came
to this.
When I go to work and hear that sweet sound from the gator I'll always think about you " I need maintenance to the corrugater"

Love always your son
Oscar

The Wenter and Pucci families loved this man. He was a gentle soul who gave of himself in so many ways. He made my daughter Kelley happy and was a loving "daddy" to Kaitlyn. They were so enjoying their new family and looking forward to a long and happy life together. He was tragically taken from us all and we will miss him terribly and we will keep him in our hearts until we all meet again. Our sympathy and love to his entire wonderful family. What a beautiful tribute to Rick's life today and a testament to his goodness and purpose. May you fly with the angels, Rick, and watch over us all.

Rick you were such a good friend to David and I. I know that it's been along time since we have seen each other......Doesn't matter I know that it would have been like yesterday if we had been lucky enough to have seen you one last time. You will always be in our hearts! I can hear your voice and your laugh as I sit and type. We do have some great memories. I know that David's heart aches badly because you two were such good friends for many years as the two of you worked at Container Corp! Our prayers are with your entire family! We know how bad they are hurting, loving, and missing you! We pray that the lord gives them the strength that they need as this time. We sincerely will miss you forever! Everyone stop and give your love ones a big hug! We never know what tomorrow will bring! Muuaahh Rick!
