Rick, it was always a challenge playing and coaching baseball with you. You are missed by many. Sue passed away two days ago, it must be a joyous moment seeing her again, as Heavenly Father promised.

We are saddened to hear about Rick's passing. I (Art)have known Rick for 50+ years and can remember some really great times playing basketball at Dula Center or down at Roy Martin. Rick was one of the "Old Guard" here in L.V. and it was always fun when we got together and would talk about the good old days growing up here in Las Vegas. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Cerrone family and hope you all can draw from all the great memories you have to get through this very difficult time.
