Hello my dear Ricky,
So I´m sure you are embracing the company of your father which I´m so sad for your mother. And now you got Harold up there. Give Pop pop , you and your father a big squeeze.
I´m sure there is lots of warm hugs to one another along with laughs.
I miss that laugh. I miss you but I know I will see you again my friend. We will had good laughs again. Hard to believe 6 years.
I´m hoping to see your mom before she heads back home.
Love ya Ricky!!
Much love,
Your Sistaaaa Tanyaaaaaaa

DEAREST HAROLD,
WHAT WONDERFUL MEMORIES JOSHUA AND I HAVE OF YEARS OF HONORING YOUR BUSINESS. YOURS WAS NOT JUST A BUSINESS; YOU AND RICK WERE "STARS OF THE SHOW". SOMETIMES IT WAS MORE INTERESTING TO WATCH YOU GUYS WHILE WAITING, THAN TO WATCH SOME SITCOMS ON TV!!!!
RICK WAS SO HONORABLE, FUNNY, AND KIND TO EVERY ONE WHO ENTERED YOUR STORE.
HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE, AND WOULD TELL INTERESTING STORIES. I COULD TELL WHEN I SPOKE, THAT HE SINCERELY TOOK AN INTEREST IN WHAT I HAD TO SAY. HE WAS A GENUINE PERSON, WHO TRULY CARED ABOUT PEOPLE!!!!! I'LL NEVER FORGET SEEING YOU TWO IN REDNERS A FEW YEARS AFTER I HAD MOVED AWAY FROM ALBURTIS. I APPROACHED AND SAID THAT I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBERED ME....BOTH OF YOU SAID, "YES, YOU'RE JOSH'S MOM,,,,HOW ARE YOU?" LOVELY MEMORY...
IT WILL BE WITH SADNESS THE NEXT TIME I ENTER FREY'S STORE; BUT THERE WILL BE GLADNESS, TOO, BECAUSE I HAD THE PLEASURE TO KNOW RICK FOR A LITTLE WHILE. RIP, RICK--SOOO SORRY--HAROLD.
MUCH LOVE, DOREEN DAVIS
AND JOSHUA BARONE

I love you very much Harold! I can't thank you and Rick enough for always being there for me! I never thought we would lose rick so early. Rick and I had some ups and downs, but we promised each other we would always be there for each other! I will always be here for you! Rick, we talked almost every morning. Sometimes too long. I would be late to work. Everybody knows when rick and I Rick had a heart of gold, and so do you! you both are loved by so many good people! My heart is breaking. Rick was taken way to early. Know he is at peace! Rick will live through our wonderful memories(we have lots of them!)Please take care of yourself! I texted Rick's phine just one last time and as I'm writing this message you texted me back I was hoping you would. I love you!

Deepest Sympathies to you Harold and the Hurst family during this tragic loss. Rick was such a sweet man and touched the lives of everyone who knew him. I enjoyed all of our talks each time that I went to the store. No matter what he was doing, he always went out of his way to ask about the family and you knew that he really cared. I loved to hear him laugh, which he did often. He lived life to the fullest and I was honored to call him my friend. RIP Dear Rick, Alburtis has lost a true gentleman and you will never leave our memories,thoughts and prayers.
