I had the opportunity to share a brief moment in time in ministry with Rick. Although he was shy at first I learned alot about his passions. It is so unfortunate to have his life end in such a tragic way, but I know for sure where he is.

Dear Jen & Karen,
Our heart felt sympathy goes out to you girls in your time of sorrow. No child should have to loose a parent in this manner. We have great memories of your dad with Josh when he was young, visiting him up at Hermit Island, and the past few years here with us on Thanksgiving and Christmas. We will all miss him dearly. Remember, we are here for you. If there is anything we can do to help in any way please let us know.
Love & prayers to you both,
Uncle Dave & Aunt Prue
P.S. Your dad is home with the Lord and in good hands.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Richard rented his home to me on great pond road in Kingston back in the 90's. He was such a nice guy. every now and then since he rented to me I would run into him around town and he was very pleasant to talk to.
