To all of Rick's family ,we wish to extend our deepest sympathies. We will keep you in our prayers. Rick was quite a guy, from a stock expert to tennis player extraordinaire. We have many fond memories of our Saturday night tennis group gatherings with Rick and Eileen who were often accompanied by Katie! We wish you peace at this difficult time.

Dear Eilene and children;

I was saddened when I heard that Rick passed away. I know you will have many memories but you will miss his presence.

Matt, Andy, Katie, and the rest of the Rick Bosley family, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and my heart goes out to all of you. One of my most vivid memories of Rick is him at the Mequon Racquet Club where we all enjoyed long hours of tennis....and he'd just come off the court. Katie was just a baby not yet walking but she could stand in the palm of Rick's hand as he held her high in the air as she giggled and stood siff as a board balancing. I'm sure you have many many wonderful memories with him as well. My love and sympathy to all of you.

Rick,
I am so lucky to have had you for an uncle. The care and generosity you have shown toward me will never be forgotten by me or my family. My life is so much better because of you. Staying at your house in Lake Forest, swimming at Grandfather’s, piles of great science fiction books, seeing Charles Barkley taunt the crowd at the Mecca, watching Penn State upset Testaverde and the Hurricanes, getting through college with your support, staying with you in Fountain Hills with my wife-to-be and picking out our wedding rings at a mall near your house - these are some of my most treasured memories - all only possible because of you. Stacie and I will miss you.
Love,
Sam

Rick
I was so happy you came back to Milwaukee. I will miss our budding brother/sister bonding. It felt good to go to lunch with my brother and talk about our common back ground and to be able to watch Sunday Packer games with our Dad. I looked forward to many future holidays with both our children and grandchildren. You had so much courage and independence around your illness. I am really proud of you and will miss you very much. Your loving sister Susan

I miss you, Dad. I miss your laugh, your smile, and your quirky behaviors. I miss hearing your voice. I miss debating politics, finance, and sports with you. But most of all I will miss bouncing thoughts on varying topics off you. I respected and needed your advice...but what I treasured more than anything was the fact that you never judged me. For this I am eternally grateful. Rest in peace. I love you, Pop!
