Rick & Judy would have Celebrated 42 years of Marriage in December 2010. To describe the word Love, there is no vocabulary. Love may be silent at times but it is Lived. Rick adored & Loved his wife & kids.
They met at Foursquare Church. Rick & Judy spent many of their dates at the Fairview Park Swimming Pool. At their wedding I (Sandy) recall hugging Rick & telling him to always take care of my sister Judy. He promised me that he would. Rick did make good on that promise. He has been a wonderful brother-in-law to us. Rick worked hard to provide well for his family. Rick & Judy enjoyed leisure times spent camping & fishing. Rick will always remain in our hearts with many good memories. We love him very much.
We miss you Rick. Fish to your heart's content now with the greatest fisherman ever & that is Jesus!
