Dear Diane,
I was saddened to hear of Rick's passing. I have many fond memories of our time together both in the workplace and socially. The good times had at the ICFA conventions and training sessions, I considered him an ally, mentor and a special friend. May God bless you and your family I know that Rick is looking down upon you forever.

DIANE,
Just learned of Rick's passing via an email from SHC-Seton LaSalle. I was looking for a note regarding Dave & to see both Rick & Dave was more than heart breaking.
Your loss, far, far more than I can imagine. My prayers and memories are all I can offer. Use your memories to help sustain you & your family.

Dear Diane, So sorry to hear about Rick's passing. He and go back to his time with the Pittsburgh Diocese when he just got out of college and worked for me as an accountant. His dad was very proud of him. I will always remember him as a friend. Missing him already.

Dear Diane and Family; my deepest condolences to all of you. This is such a sad and difficult time for you and I can only imagine how much you must hurt.
Rick was such a well liked and well thought of friend and colleague to so many of us within our profession. He will be missed by so many of us. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Warmest regards, Nancy Lohman and our ICCFA family.

Rick will be missed. His contribution to the industry was valued and important. His consulting work assisted many operations to maximize their sales potential.

Rick made a significant and lasting impact on the cemetery, funeral, and memorialization business with his deft and precise understanding of the impact of data based, segmented marketing which was years ahead of his time.
All of the CRM companies we hear of today such as Salesforce.com owe their existence to the pioneers of tomorrow's marketing; people like Rick who toiled in our little backwater gratefully appreciated by those of us who have built upon his foundation.
Rick, you will be missed.

Rick is one of the most thoughtful, caring, and considerate men I have ever known - always in a good mood - and quite witty. Just being in his presence was always a good feeling. Rick has helped me as much or more than any other individual in the cemetery industry. One thing I know for sure about Rick Wesner - Rick was a loyal family man with very good and strong morals and values. Cynthia and I extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to Dianne, Chris, Jeff, and Ryan. With our Love, Linus and Cynthia

So very hard to see the words "In memory of" next to your name and with your picture looking back at me. We have so many wonderful memories that I will always cherish. Spent time looking at pictures to share with everyone at this time - so many of which have character - crazy, fun, beautiful moments - you always did have a knack of getting people's attention!
Rick, you will be missed so much. Many tears will be shed - have been shed for you. Your so called golden years were taken from you - but you perservered and handled with such strength. Your faith certainly carried you through these most difficult times. We all know that you are no longer suffering and in heaven with so many loved ones. We will miss having you here... but you will always be here in spirit and in our hearts and in our lives.
