Oh Pauline and Richard, we are so very sorry to hear of Rick's passing. He was a wonderful dad and you guys were just so cool together. He loved you so much. We're very sorry that you've had to go through so much. We had tons of fun growing up together with so many good times. He was well loved and will be sadly missed by many. May all your wonderful memories help comfort you now and forever. And take comfort knowing that he had a loving bunch waiting to greet him at heavens gate. God bless and be with you both. Love, Aunt Judy and cousin Barb
