Hearing about your loss has deeply saddened us. Rick was a good man and a great neighbor. I can still see him working from sun up to sun down, always with a smile, rebuilding your house. There were few who could compare to Rick.
After the tears have dried, all we have to hold onto are the happy memories that we've shared with our loved ones who have passed, this is what keeps them alive in our hearts and in our minds, and they will continue to live on, through us. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family.

He made me laugh so hard in my classes with him at MidAmerica. He was one of a kind. Generous, full of life, open and warm. His laughter was contagious. He was always so thoughtful and he cared for others. He supported and encouraged you when you were down. I'm so very sorry for your loss. He was extraordinary.
