It was a joy to get to know Rick. He sure could make us laugh with his jokes and well just being Rick. Its hard to sink in that I will never pick up that phone and hear that "Hewwo". R.I.P trouble maker.

Mr. Elick sir, it was a pleasure working with you these past 2 years. I was heartbroken when I was told of your passing. I will miss your silly corny jokes as they always maybe me laugh and shake my head at the same time.
To the Elick family I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Please know that Rick was a kind man, who had a way of making people laugh and smile.

Mrs. Elick, I'm sorry for the lost; I have never meet you, but Rick talked to me about you an and the rest of his familly.
Rick and I built a good rellationship businesswise and became friends. He always made me laugh with his jokes. I will miss him. But the one thing I will never forget is that because of him I found a good job when I got laid off from my prevoius employer in 2003.
Rick went to be with the Lord, we'll see him there one day.
May God bless and confort the Elick familly in this difficult moments.
