To Sara and family of Rick Linke I offer my sincere condolences for your loss of Rick.I have so many fond memories of Rick. Yes, the motorcycle rides the Blessing of the bikes each year in Baldwin Michigan. Our love for cars and many of our conversations over the years. It was so nice of you to stop by and chat with us at First Street beach just before you left for your last ride. I was so grateful how you treated me always at your lumber company. Finally, when I was hired in at AKZO Salt as a Supervisor I always appreciated your kindness and guidance each day while working at AKZO SALT. Rick you left us all way to soon in life brother. I for one will never forget you and always will cherish many conversations we shared. You were a fine young man. Prayers for your family and loved ones. Ride on little brother

Sincerest condolences to all Rick's family and friends. Growing up I watched him always look after his younger siblings. He took his family responsibility serious. Nice kid, cousin, husband, father and friend. RIP Rick
