I dearly loved my cousin. He was the one who helped me so much as I was moving to Payne Ave., Dunbar. He fixed the kitchen gas stove. Rick could do anything and was good at it. And he would do anything he could for you. I am happy for him to be with his family in Heaven but my heart hurts for his two siblings that are left. We were all close growing up and we loved each other dearly. I am praying for Mike and Joe and your families and Rick´s family.
