Joni, I am so sorry for your loss. I had no idea. Rick certainly sounds like the man I would love to pattern my life after. He is with Jesus now in a new glorified body with no pain. May God bless you and your family.

Sorry I never had the opportunity to meet Rick. I knew him only by all the great things I heard said about him. He was obviously a terrific person. My deepest sympathy to Joni and the rest of the family.

Joni, I am so sorry to hear about Rick's passing. He was such a great guy and I know that everyone that got to know him will be missing him dearly. It warms my heart to know that he was a believer and loved the Lord. He is home now and without pain. Please accept our sincere condolences to you and your family.

I am speechless. Dr. Vanderslice was by far one of the greatest surgeons I have ever had the pleasure of working alongside. He will be missed beyond measure. His knowledge, compassion, and fabulous sense of humor is irreplaceable. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

In Ricks sickness or health, he made us feel welcomed and special.
God is truly embracing him now and sending the Holy Spirit to you Joni, Sarah and Grace to comfort and wrap you in His care.

Worked with Dr Vanderslice for 8 wonderful years . He was the most generous fun loving person .There was never a time he would leave to go see his second family in tanzania and not come back with a gift for us girls. Every holiday expect a card and a gift from him . He brought me into St Lukes parish. there are so many memories that I can't post here but the one that I will remember was his last month working with us he would come in the office always humming a tune even if he was not feeling the best . I said to him Dr V you always have such a positive up beat attitude. And he answered why not I am here.Love that man He will truly be missed by all To Joni and the girls my prayers are with you all

Dr. Vanderslice was a wonderful, talented surgeon who calmed our fears when my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He will be missed by all. Rick you are now with Jesus, the best place to be and you see the loving light of our Savior.
