Just wanted to say, Uncle Rick was great. Of course we didn't always c eye to eye but no families do. Uncle Rick always left us on our toes not knowing what crazy thing he'd do next. He made us laugh, cry, want to wop him and made us say a lot of, what the....but he had a heart of gold and was a big old teddy bear. I love u and will miss u dearly but you'll always be in my heart. Kiss Mamaw for me and u two stay out of trouble . Love u always❤❤❤
