We were friends with Rick and Carol in NH. He was always the life of the party and always had that winning smile on his face. He was taken away much too young. Hang on to the great memories and smile that Rick smile and he will live on in your hearts forever.

Rick,
First let me just say thank you! you were incredibly influential and you encouraged me to become a "super star" lol. You believed in me when at times I couldn't believe in myself. Thank you for being you no matter what and always making me smile and everyone else around you. You will be deeply missed.
ALL BLUE SKIES AHEAD (as you always said)

We were childhood best friends since we were toddlers up until he left OG to be with his Dad. Unfortunately that was not the age of cell phones or personal computers. We reconnected just a few years ago. Great memories. My condolences to the whole family!
