We were so sorry to learn of the loss of your special friend. Rick was a wonderful man. Remember, when two souls encounter true love, that love is forever. May God bless you.

Dear Karen, Rob, Tim, Marie and Family:

Just a note to let you know not only how much your Dad was an important member of the Riordan and Ek Families but also how much he will be deeply missed.

As Rob stated during the service today, "Uncle Rick" epitomized the definition of dignity throughout his fight with cancer.

The pastor's expression of deep respect for Uncle Rick's love of family as well as hope and belief in God were heartfelt and inspiring.

The love and support of the Riordan Family is extended, through me, to the McGills and Duntons.

Love,

Elizabeth

I first met Rick when he joined the Bilolerica Golf League about 38 years ago. Rick was and will always be remembered as a true gentleman.
